On  May  7,  1917,  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  of  the  United  States 
called  to  Washington  for  a  conference  in  regard  to  the  formation  of 
a  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  the  following  women:

sey, of  Kansas;  and  Mrs.  J.  O.  Miller,  of  Pennsylvania. 

At  this  meeting  it  was  decided  that  a  woman's  organization  for 
the  sale  of  bonds  be  instituted  throughout  the  country,  under  the 
direction  of  an  executive  committee  in  Washington.  Mrs.  William 
G.  McAdoo  was  made  chairman  of  this  committee.  Rooms  in  the 
Treasury  Building  were  put  at  the  disposal  of  the  new  organization, 
and  a  clerical  force  installed. 

A  publicity  bureau  was  immediately  opened,  in  charge  of  Miss

On  May  9  the  first  meeting  of  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan

ORGANIZATION. 
I.  Federal  Reserve  District  Chairmen. 

As  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  is  a  committee 
of  the  Treasury  Department  of  the  United  States,  it  was  decided  to 
organize  along  governmental  financial  lines,  and  the  first  appoint- 
ments made  by  the  National  Committee  were  the  twelve  women 
chairmen  of  the  Federal  reserve  bank  districts  of  the  United  States. 

For  purposes  of  organization  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan 
Committee  has  made  the  State  the  unit,  and  has  appointed  a  chair- 
man of  every  State  and  Territory. 

The  Federal  reserve  chairman  has  supervision  over  the  State 
chairmen  in  her  district;  she  directs  their  activities,  and  is  held 
responsible  by  the  National  Committee  for  carrying  out  its  sugges- 
tions in  the  States  in  her  charge. 

The  Federal  reserve  chairman  also  serves  as  a  member  of  the 
executive  committee  of  the  Liberty  loan  committee  of  the  Federal 
reserve  bank  board  of  her  district. 

She  has  power  to  call  women's  Liberty  loan  conventions  in  the 
States  in  her  charge,  and  to  call  together  for  conference  the  State 
chairmen  serving  luider  her.

chairman  in  whose  district  her  territory  lies,  at  the  same  time  coordi- 
nating her  work  with  that  of  the  State  chairman  under  whom  she 
serves. 

It  is  the  duty  of  each  Stat^  chairman  of  the  National  Woman's 
Liberty  Loan  Committee  to  appoint  a  chairman  for  every  county 
in  her  State,  and  for  every  town  with  a  population  of  over  50,000. 

When  these  chairmen  are  appointed,  the  State  chairman  has  the 
entire  responsibility  for  them.  She  must  maintain  constant  touch 
with  them,  in  order  to  see  that  the  recommendations  of  the  National 
Committee  are  carried  out,  and  that  a  satisfactory  amount  of  bonds 
is  being  sold. 

The  State  chairman  must  also  consult  with  the  heads  of  all  im- 
portant organizations  of  women  in  her  State  as  to  the  better  method 
of  reaching  their  memberships  with  an  appeal  to  buy  bonds.  She 
must  see  that  speakers  appear  before  all  conventions  meeting  in  her 
State  duriag  a  loan  campaign,  and  she  must  arrange  for  meetings  in 
the,  parts  of  her  State  where  the  sale  of  bonds  proves  patriotic  en- 
thusiasm to  be  lacking. 

A  fortimate  arrangement  has  been  made  with  the  woman's  com- 
mittee of  the  Council  of  National  Defense,  which  insures  cooperation 
between  these  two  important  woman's  committees.  When  the 
National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  appoints  its  State 
chairman  for  the  Liberty  loan,  her  name  is  presented  by  Dr.  Anna 
Howard  Shaw,  chairman  of  the  woman's  committee  of  the  Coimcil  of 
National  Defense,  to  the  woman's  committee  of  the  State  council  of 
defense  in  her  State,  for  membership  on  that  body.  This  enables 
the  chairman  representing  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan 
Committee  to  use  the  existing  State  defense  organization  for  Liberty 
loan  campaigns,  and  for  aid  in  organizing  her  own  committee  for 
the  sale  of  Liberty  bonds. 

Congressional  District  and  Zone  Chairmen. 

In  some  States  a  chairman  was  appointed  for  each  congressional 
district,  having  supervision,  under  the  State  chairman,  of  those 
counties  that  lie  in  the  geographical  division  made  by  the  congres- 
sional district  lines.  Ill  other  States,  where  the  area  is  large  and  the 
congressional  districts  few,  the  territory  to  be  covered  has  been 
arbitrarily  divided  into  zones,  with  a  chairman  having  supervision 
of  such  counties  or  townships  as  may  lie  within  her  zone.  This 
method  of  organization,  while  not  generally  used,  has  been  found 
successful,  as  it  divides  the  responsibility  of  supervision  and  enables 


REPORT  N-ATIOXAL  V/OMAX'S  LIBERTY  LOAN  COMMITTEE.  15 

the  State  cjiairman  to  liave  a  more  intimate  knowledge  of  tlie  counties 
working  imder  her. 

County  Chairmen. 

The  county  chairman  has  the  task  of  appointing  chairmen  of  all 
towns  with  a  population  under  50,000,  of  all  townships  and  villages, 
and  in  some  States,  of  school  districts.  It  is  her  duty  to  see  that 
every  person  in  her  county  is  reached  by  an  appeal  to  buy  bonds; 
she  must  exact  daily  reports  from  the  women  working  under  her, 
and  in  her  turn  send  a  daily  report  to  her  State  chairman  of  the 
work  done  in  her  county.  She  must  arrange  for  patriotic  meetings 
in  her  county  if  the  sale  of  bonds  is  sluggish,  and  she  must  make 
sure  that  the  riu*al  districts  in  her  charge  are  being  covered.  She 
should  call  frequent  meetings  of  village  and  township  chairmen  serv- 
ing imder  her  to  discuss  methods  of  campaign. 

Township  and  Village  Chairmen. 

The  township  or  village  chairman  is  instructed  to  appoint  a  gen- 
eral committee,  consisting  of  leading  women  in  every  activity  of  her 
community,  to  plan  the  organization  of  her  unit.  The  National 
Committee  urges  that  the  township  be  so  organized  that  a  house-to- 
house  canvass  for  the  sale  of  bonds  be  conducted,  and  recommends 
a  trolley  or  automobile  house-to-house  appeal  to  reach  the  districts 
lying  between  villages. 

City  Chairmen. 

The  city  chairman  has  a  different  problem,  as  she  must  organize 
her  community  so  that  she  may  reach  all  the  people  in  it.  The 
National  Committee  strongly  urges  a  ward  organization  that  will 
include  a  house-to-house  canvass  for  bond  selling.  In  the  past 
campaign  it  was  demonstrated  that  this  was  the  only  way  to  be 
certain  that  the  ground  was  covered.  In  addition  to  this,  the  city 
chairman  should  appoint  a  flying  squadron  of  bond  saleswomen,  and 
should  send  them  out  on  daily  drives  for  large  subscriptions.  They 
should  maintain  booths  in  banks,  hotels,  department  stores,  street 
comers,  etc.,  and  should  see  that  all  stores  and  factories  where  labor 
is  employed  are  covered. 

Publicity  is  an  important  part  of  the  duty  of  a  city  chairman ;  she 
must  keep  the  papers  in  her  community  constantly  fed  with  news 
stories  in  regard  to  the  work  women  are  doing  in  the  Liberty  loan 
campaign,  and  she  must  see  that  posters  and  special  street-car  adver- 
tising of  a  kind  to  appeal  to  women  are  widely  distributed. 

She  must  arrange  for  women  Liberty  loan  speakers  at  all  patriotic 
meetings,  and  at  all  places  where  women  are  employed;  and  she  must 
see  that  every  woman's  club  or  organization  meeting  during  the  time 
of  the  campaign  is  addressed  by  them.     She  must  also  make  an

effort  to  persuade  women's  institutions  and  organizations  to  invest 
endowment  funds  in  Liberty  bonds.  This  has  been  attempted  with 
great  success  in  some  cities. 

At  the  Liberty  loan  conference  recently  called  by  the  Secretary 
of  the  Treasiu'y  it  was  recommended  that  the  city  chairman  appointed 
in  the  various  districts  by  the  Federal  reserve  banks  for  the  sale  of 
Liberty  bonds  should  include  on  his  executive  committee  the  woman 
appomted  as  Liberty  loan  chairman  of  that  city,  and  other  women 
as  he  may  decide,  and  that  he  should  appoint  a  woman  to  such 
subcommittees  as  the  women  members  of  the  executive  committee 
may  suggest.  This  merging  of  the  two  forces  for  bond  selling  enables 
each  to  have  the  benefit  of  the  other's  organization  and  insures  a 
more  comprehensive  campaign. 

III.  ADVISORY  COUNCIL. 

One  of  the  first  official  acts  of  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan 
Committee  was  to  provide  for  an  advisory  council,  and  to  appoint 
as  membei*s  the  heads  of  the  great  national  organizations  of  women. 
In  this  way  the  support  and  cooperation  of  these  important  groups 
was  assured.  In  the  past  two  Liberty  loans  these  Nation-wide 
memberships  were  of  inestimable  aid  to  the  campaigns  in  the  various 
States,  and  in  many  cases  the  societies  made  national  contributions 
of  great  sums  to  the  Liberty  loan.  The  high  sense  of  patriotism  of 
the  organized  women  of  the  United  States  was  proved  beyond  aU 
question.

WORK  OF  NATIONAL  WOMAN'S  LIBERTY  LOAN 
COMMITTEE. 


FIRST  LIBERTY  LOAN  CAMPAIGN. 

(May  15  to  June  15, 1917.) 

The  following  report  is  compiled  from  the  letter  files  in  the  ofHce 
of  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee.  Undoubtedly 
there  were  many  subscriptions  made  by  and  through  women  which 
were  not  recorded  here.  As  there  were  no  distinctive  women's  blanks 
used  in  the  first  campaign  it  is  impossible  to  arrive  at  any  correct 
estimate  of  the  results  of  the  work  done  by  women ;  it  was,  however, 
of  sufficient  value  to  encourage  the  National  Conmiittee  to  beHeve 
that  the  women  of  the  United  States  might  be  relied  upon  to  take  a 
substantial  share  of  the  responsibility  of  disposing  of  succeeding  bond 
issues. 

Mrs.  Frank  L.  Higginson,  chairman  of  the  first  Federal  reserve 
district,  appointed  her  State  chairmen  and  put  in  operation  the  most 
complete  piece  of  organization  in  the  first  campaign.  The  women  of 
New  England  called  together  the  heads  of  all  women's  organizations 
and  put  them  to  work  selling  bonds.  They  instituted  house  to  house 
canvasses  in  many  places,  held  street  meetings,  and  sold  bonds  in 
department  stores.  It  is  estimated  that  well  over  $2,000,000  was 
subscribed  through  the  women's  committees  of  the  first  district. 

Mrs.  Frank  A.  Vanderlip,  of  New  York,  reported  that  Miss  Virginia 
Furman,  chairman  of  the  woman's  Liberty  loan  executive  committee 
in  the  second  Federal  reserve  district,  brought  together  the  heads  of 
80  organizations  of  women  to  work  for  the  Liberty  loan.  One  organ- 
ization alone,  the  Woman's  Motion  Pictm"e  Industry,  subscribed 
$1,000,000  worth  of  bonds.  The  New  York  State  Woman's  Suffrage 
Party  secured  $4,700,000  worth  of  subscriptions;  $8,300,000  was 
reported  as  the  woman's  total  for  the  second  district. 

Mrs.  J.  O.  Miller,  State  chairman  of  Pennsylvania,  reported  that 
in  Allegheny  County  the  bankers'  statements  show  that  34  per  cent 
of  the  bonds  sold  were  taken  by  women.  Her  estimate  of  subscrip- 
tions taken  through  her  conmiittoos  is  $12,000,000. 

Mrs.  George  Bass,  of  Illinois,  made  two  Chautauqua  trips,  of  a 
fortnight  each,  speaking  every  day.     Her  itinerary  covered  all  towns 
in  northern  Kentucky  and  in  southern  and  northern  Indiana.

I^Irs.  Antoinette  Funk  and  Mi-s.  Kellogg  Fairbank,  of  Illinois,  and 
I^Irs.  Guilford  Dudley,  of  Tennessee,  reported  publicity  campaigns, 
frequent  speaking,  and  personal  solicitation  for  bond  subscriptions  to 
a  considerable  amount. 

In  the  State  of  California  7  out  of  10  bonds  were  taken  by  women. 
In  Tennessee  the  subscriptions  through  women  amounted  to 
$1,000,000. 

The  following  is  a  statement  of  the  national  associations  of  women 
which  subscribed  through  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Com- 
mittee to  the  first  issue  of  Liberty  bonds:

Daughters  of  the  American  Revolution.     (It  is  estimated  by  Mrs,  Guernsey,  presi- 
dent, that  $2,428,000  was  subscribed  through  the  members  of  this  organization.) 
Society  of  May^ower  Descendants,  |120,000. 
Catholic  Women's  Benevolent  Legion,  $20,000.

Publicity  Campaign. 

Under  the  direction  of  the  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  the 
church  bells  of  hundreds  of  towns  throughout  the  United  States  were 
rung  in  the  week  preceding  the  close  of  the  first  Liberty  loan,  calHng 
attention  to  the  number  of  days  left  for  subscriptions.  A  scattered 
but  effective  telephone  canvass  by  women  was  also  utilized  to  instruct 
and  interest  communities  in  the  loan. 

In  cooperation  with  the  Treasury  Department  Liberty  loan  pub- 
licity bureau,  the  committee's  bureau  issued  daily  bulletins  to  all  news 
service  organizations  of  the  United  States  relative  to  the  work  of 
women  in  the  first  Liberty  loan.  The  bureau  also  issued  to  the  mem- 
bership of  the  Daughters  of  the  American  Revolution  96,000  copies 
of  a  letter  written  by  Mrs.  George  Thacher  Guernsey. 


20  EEPOKT  NATIONAL  V/OMAN's  LIBERTY  LOAN  COMMITTEE. 

TWO  IMPORTANT  LIBERTY  LOAN  CONFERENCES. 
woman's   liberty   loan    CONFERENCE. 

On  September  27  and  28,  1917,  the  National  Woman ^s  Liberty 
Loan  Committee  called  a  conference  in  Washington  of  all  chairmen 
working  in  the  woman's  Liberty  loan  organization  throughout  the 
country  and  the  members  of  the  advisory  coxmcil.  Through  the  kmd- 
ness  of  Mr.  John  Barrett,  director,  the  beautiful  building  used  by 
the  Bureau  of  Pan-American  Kepublics  was  given  over  to  the  use  of 
the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee,  and  all  meetings  were 
held  in  the  large  assembly  room  there. 

Over  tliree  hundred  women  attended  this  conference  from  aU 
parts  of  the  country.  Mrs.  WiUiam  G.  McAdoo,  chairman,  presided. 
A  message  of  welcome  was  read  by  Assistant  Director  Dr.  Francisco 
J.  Yanes,  of  the  Bureau  of  Pan-American  Kepublics.  Addresses 
were  made  by  Secretary  of  the  Treasury,  WiUiam  Gibbs  McAdoo; 
Secretary  of  War,  Newton  D.  Baker;  Senators  Eeed  Smoot,  and 
Peter  Gerry,  representing  the  Senate  Finance  Committee;  Kep- 
resentative  Rainey,  of  IlUinois,  representing  the  Finance  Committee 
of  the  House;  Mr.  Bainbridge  Colby,  of  the  United  States  Shipping 
Board;  Dr.  Anna  Howard  Shaw,  chairman  of  the  woman's  committee 
of  the  Council  of  National  Defense;  Mrs.  Antoinette  Funk,  vice 
chairman  of  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee;  and 
Mrs.  George  Bass.  Mrs.  Kellogg  Fairbank  presented  the  scheme  of 
organization  of  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  and 
outlined  the  chart  prepared  by  it.  There  were  informal  accounts  of 
work  done  in  various  States,  and  general  discussion  of  the  better 
method  of  organization. 

The  delegates  to  the  conference  were  received  at  the  White  House 
by  the  President  of  the  United  States.  They  were  also  entertained 
at  luncheon  at  Suffrage  House,  where  the  ladies  of  the  Cabinet  were 
asked  to  meet  them,  and  at  a  reception  at  the  home  of  the  chairman 
of  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee,  Mrs.  William  G. 
McAdoo. 

The  great  advantage  of  the  advisory  committee  of  heads  of  women's 
organizations  throughout  the  country  was  emphasized  at  this  con- 
ference. Millions  of  women  were  represented  there,  and  much  of  the 
success  of  the  second  Liberty  loan  campaign  may  be  attributed  to 
their  enthusiastic  cooperation. 

WAR   LOAN   CONFERENCE. 

The  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  invited  to  a  Liberty  loan  conference 
at  the  Treasury  Department  in  Washington  the  governors  of  the 
Federal  reserve  banks,  representative  executives  from  the  central 


li 


EEPOET  ISTATIOXAL  WOMAN 's  LIBERTY  LOAN  COMMITTEE.  21 

Liberty  loan  committees  of  the  Federal  reserve  districts,  and  the 
members  of  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  and 
their  chairmen  of  Federal  reserve  districts.  This  conference  was  held 
in  Washington  during  three  days,  December  10,  11,  and  12,  1917,  and 
was  attended  by  about  125  delegates. 

The  purpose  of  the  conference  was  to  exchange  ideas  and  experiences 
resulting  from  the  first  two  Liberty  loan  campaigns  and,  after  a  de- 
tailed discussion  of  organization  plans,  methods,  etc.,  to  make  to  the 
Secretary  of  the  Treasury  suggestions  as  to  organizing  and  con- 
ducting forthcoming  campaigns  for  selling  United  States  Government 
bonds.  The  chairman  of  the  conference  was  Mr.  Lewis  B.  Franklin, 
director  of  war  loan  organization,  who  was  also  chairman  of  the  group 
on  organization  and  sales  management.  The  other  groups  and  chair- 
men were:  Publicity,  Mr.  Oscar  A.  Price;  speakers^  Mr.  Charles  F. 
Homer;  accounting,  Mr.  J.  A.  Broderick. 

Each  group  met  separately,  and  after  a  general  consideration  of 
the  group  program,  divided  into  subcommittees  for  consideration  of 
specific  topics,  and  reported  to  the  main  group.  Women  represent- 
ing the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  were  in  every 
case  members  of  these  subcommittees. 

The  conference  was  addressed  by  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  on 
the  subject  of  the  Liberty  loan  and  taxation.  His  was  the  only 
formal  speech  made;  the  rest  of  the  time  was  devoted  to  plans  for 
organization  and  sales  management. 

Mention  has  already  been  made  of  the  recommendation  of  the  con- 
ference that  the  city  chairman  appointed  through  the  National 
Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  be  made  a  member  of  the  men's 
executive  Liberty  loan  committee  of  her  city,  and  that  a  woman 
appointed  by  her  should  represent  women's  interests  on  every  sub- 
committee working  on  loan  organization  in  the  city.  The  National 
Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  hopes  that  this  recommendation 
will  be  generally  carried  out,  as  the  last  campaign  proved  beyond 
question  the  value  of  cooperation  between  the  two  agencies  for  the 
sale  of  Liberty  bonds. 

Reports  were  made  on  the  work  done  through  the  women's  com- 
mittees in  the  schools  of  the  country,  and  some  of  our  successful 
organizations  of  teachers  and  pupils  were  favorably  commented  on, 
and  recommended. 

The  following  quotation  is  from  the  official  report  of  that  conference, 
issued  by  the  Treasury  Department : 

A  most  valuable  part  of  the  conference  was  the  attendance  from  the  various  Federal 
reserve  districts  of  the  district  Liberty  loan  chairmen,  and  the  presence  of  the  offi- 
cials of  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee. 

The  extremely  important  work  done  by  the  organization  of  women  throughout  the 
country  was  apparent  to  all  those  familiar  with  the  facts.  In  those  districts  where 
there  was  sufficient  time  to  properly  coordinate  the  work  of  the  organizations  of  women 


22  EEPORT  NATIONAL  WOMAN 's  LIBEETY  LOAN  COMMITTEE. 

•with  the  Liberty  loan  organizations,  the  results  produced  were  remarkable.  For 
instance,  in  one  State  the  organizations  of  women  alone  sold  more  than  $41,000,000 
of  the  second  Liberty  loan  bonds. 

The  above  is  illustrative  of  what  may  be  accomplished  where  there  is  proper  coop- 
eration. It  is  therefore  recommended  that  all  Liberty  loan  executives  make  a  special 
point  of  assisting  in  coordinating  all  Liberty  loan  activities  within  their  respective 
jurisdiction.  It  is  suggested  that  (1)  the  district  chairman  of  the  woman's  organiza- 
tion be  made  a  member  of  the  central  Liberty  loan  committee  of  the  district,  (2)  that 
the  State  chairman  of  the  woman's  organization  be  made  a  member  of  the  State 
Liberty  loan  committee,  and  (3)  that  the  local  chairman  of  the  woman's  organization 
be  made  a  member  of  the  local  committee.

SECOND  LIBERTY  LOAN  CAMPAIGN. 

(October  1  to  28,  1917.) 
NATIONAL    COMMITTEE. 

The  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  is  a  strongly 
centralized  body,  with  the  responsibility  and  direction  firmly  located 
in  Washington.  The  fact  that  the  committee  is  a  committee  of 
the  Treasury  Department  necessitates  this;  the  chairmen  all  over 
the  country  are  not  only  chairmen  of  their  own  particular  unit,  they 
are  also  representatives  of  the  Treasury  Department  of  the  United 
States,  and  as  such  must  be  closely  united  to  it. 

Under  these  conditions  it  will  readily  be  seen  that  the  management 
of  the  office  in  the  Treasury  Building  at  Washington  is  a  most  im- 
portant part  of  the  work  of  the  committee. 

Mrs.  Antoinette  Funk,  vice  chairman  of  the  National  Woman's 
Liberty  Loan  Committee,  imdertook  this  arduous  duty,  and  all 
through  the  hot  summer  months  she  stayed  at  her  post  in  Washing- 
ton, building  up  a  skeleton  of  machinery  and  conducting  the  volumm- 
ous  correspondence  that  preceded  the  campaign.  Mrs.  McAdoo  and 
Mrs.  Funk  conducted  the  office  end  of  the  second  campaign,  with 
the  assistance  of  Miss  Mary  Synon,  who  directed  publicity  and 
distribution. 

Mrs.  George  Bass  devoted  her  entire  time  before  and  during  the 
second  Liberty  loan  campaign  to  speaking  to  large  audiences  at 
Chautauquas  in  the  Western  States  on  the  subject  of  Liberty  bonds. 
During  August  she  spoke  daily,  reaching  almost  every  county  in 
Nebraska  and  Kansas.  In  September  she  joined  the  Secretary  of 
the  Treasury  and  his  party  in  San  Francisco,  and  spent  a  fortnight 
in  California,  speaking  at  meetmgs  arranged  for  Secretary  McAdoo. 
In  October  she  spoke  in  many  towns  of  Colorado,  Wyoming,  and 
Utah,  at  Spokane  and  Seattle,  Washington,  at  Portland,  Oreg., 
at  Helena,  Mont.,  and  at  Coeur  d'Alene,  Idaho.     She  returned  to 


EEPORT  FATIOXAL  WOMAX'S  LIBEETY  J^OAl^  COMMITTEE.         23 

California  at  the  end  of  the  month,  and  was  in  San  Francisco  for 
the  Liberty  Day  celebration  there.  The  results  of  her  appeal  to 
the  women  of  the  West  are  apparent  in  the  totals  shown  in  the  finan- 
cial report  from  State  chairmen,  and  in  close  relationships  estab- 
lished by  her  between  the  National  Committee  and  its  representa- 
tives in  the  States  she  covered. 

Mrs.  Kellogg  Fairbank  spent  the  weeks  preceding  and  during  the 
campaign  in  Washington,  assisting  in  organization  work,  and  in 
the  Middle  West,  working  with  local  chairmen  in  the  seventh  Federal 
reserve  district,  endeavorhig  to  give  the  work  of  women  for  the 
loan  greater  publicity.  She  spoke  in  Indiana,  Wisconsui,  and 
Illinois,  and  particularly  in  Chicago,  where,  for  the  last  10  days  of 
the  campaign  she  made  several  loan  speeches  a  day. 

Mrs.  F.  L.  Higginson  was  fully  occupied  with  her  work  as  chairman 
of  the  first  Federal  Reserve  District.  She  visited  each  State  in  her 
district,  spoke  at  frequent  meetings,  and  stimulated  the  work  of 
her  State  chairmen. 

Mrs.  Guilford  Dudley,  as  State  chairman  of  Tennessee,  demon- 
strated her  great  ability  as  an  organizer  of  women.  Her  State  was 
thoroughly  covered,  and  $2,650,000  was  credited  to  the  efforts  of 
the  women. 

Mrs.  J.  O.  Miller,  State  chairman  of  Pennsylvania,  devoted  her 
time  to  tho  organization  of  her  State,  with  the  amazing  result  of  a 
total  subscription  from  women  of  over  $29,000,000,  at  a  total  ex- 
penditure of  $50 — the  best  example  of  volunteer  work  in  the  National 
Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  records. 

The  following  is  the  report  of  the  publicity  chairman : 

During  the  months  of  August,  September,  and  October,  the  publicity  bureau  of 
the  committee  furnished  articles  concerning  the  Liberty  loan  to  22  magazines,  with 
a  total  circulation  of  17,557,324,  and  including  all  the  more  important  publications 
for  women  in  the  United  States.  Material  for  editorial  use  was  also  furnished  to  46 
periodicals  for  women.  During  the  month  of  October,  the  committee  bureau  dis- 
tributed weekly  copy  concerning  woman's  share  in  the  loan  to  farm  journals,  news- 
paper syndicates,  religious  weeklies,  miscellaneous  and  foreign  weeklies,  and  to 
mail-order  journals.  The  bureau  also,  during  the  last  10  days  of  the  drive,  distributed 
daily  publicity  to  3,000  local  women  chairmen  in  the  United  States. 

Through  cooperation  with  the  Treasury  publicity  bureau  the  committee  sent  out 
daily  bulletins  to  all  news  service  associations  in  the  country  and  weekly  information 
to  all  newspapers  during  the  Liberty  loan  campaign. 

Seven  million  dodgers  for  distribution  to  workers  in  factories  were  sent  by  the 
committee  to  those  States  of  particular  industrial  activity  where  the  local  officers 
stationed  workers  at  the  entrances  to  factories  to  giVe  out  these  fliers  on  Liberty  Day. 

A  special  appeal  to  farm  women  was  made  by  cooperation  with  the  Treasury  pub- 
licity bureau  in  the  insertion  of  copy  in  the  letter  which  was  distributed  to  users 
of  rural  free  delivery  routes  by  the  Post  Office  Department  of  the  United  States. 

Through  the  cooperation  of  the  States  Relations  Service  of  the  United  States  De- 
partment of  Agriculture,  hundreds  of  trained  lecturers  and  demonstrators  in  farm 
work  enlisted  the  interest  of  the  farm  women  of  the  country  in  the  Liberty  loan. 


24  EEPORT  NATIONAL  WOMAN 's  LIBERTY  LOAN  COMMITTEE. 

Two  million  dodgers  of  appeal  to  the  farm  women  of  the  United  States  were  sent 
out  by  the  mail-order  houses  of  Montgomery  Ward  &  Co.,  and  Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co., 
of  Chicago,  through  an  arrangement  made  with  these  houses  by  Mrs.  Kellogg  Fairbank. 

From  the  Waehington  headquarters  the  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  sent 
out  3,000,000  special  application  blanks  for  women  subscribers  to  State  chairmen 
for  redistribution  among  their  local  officers,  and  to  members  of  the  advisory  counsel 
for  distribution  among  their  organizations.  The  committee  also  sent  out  100,000 
organization  charts,  110,000  source  books,  500,000  primers,  and  500,000  special  posters 
to  the  State  organizations  during  the  second  Liberty  loan  campaign.  The  committee 
also  issued  98,500  circular  letters,  in  several  different  forms,  to  members  of  organiza- 
tions throughout  the  United  States. 

Among  these  were  25,000  letters  to  clergymen  of  various  religions  requesting  their 
cooperation  in  promoting  the  sucess  of  Liberty  loan  Sunday.  These  letters  contained 
excerpts  from  exhortations  prepared  for  the  committee  by  leading  clergymen  of  the 
various  religions,  appealing  for  patriotic  interest  in  the  Liberty  loan. 

The  committee  placed  through  the  enthusiastic  cooperation  of  the  librarians  of 
the  country  4,500,000  Liberty  loan  reminder  cards  in  as  many  public  library  books 
in  1,500  libraries. 

Mrs.-  Katherine  Russell  Eckstorm,  who  directed  the  office  staff  for  the  distribution 
of  the  17,000,000  pieces  of  copy  sent  out  by  the  committee,  reported  that  the  last 
run  of  material  cleared  the  United  States  Treasury  on  October  22,  1917.  The  director 
of  publicity  and  distribution  wishes  to  call  attention  to  the  fact  that  the  clearing  of 
this  great  volume  of  material  was  made  possible  only  by  the  self -sacrificing  labors  of 
Mrs.  Eckstorm  and  her  women  coworkers  in  the  task.

INTRODUCTION   TO   FINANCIAL  RECORD. 

women's  blanks. 

In  the  second  campaign,  in  response  to  the  request  of  the  National 
Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee,  an  especial  subscription  blank 
for  use  of  women  was  printed  by  the  Treasury  Department.  The 
distinguishing  feature  was  simply  that  these  blanks  were  printed  in 
blue  ink,  with  the  idea  that,  at  the  close  of  the  campaign,  when 
"the  tumult  and  the  shouting"  died,  the  bankers  of  the  country 
could  at  their  leisure  separate  the  blue  blanks  from  the  black  and 
determine  the  amount  of  money  taken  in  through  the  woman's 
committee.  Two  causes  contributed  to  the  failure  of  this  plan. 
One  was  that  a  banker  has  apparently  no  leisure;  from  every  State 
dismayed  protests  came  from  them  when  requested  to  add  the  burden 
of  this  work  to  the  splendid  service  they  had  already  contributed  to 
the  work  of  the  Liberty  loan  campaign;  and  the  other  was  that,  in 
any  event,  the  record  would  have  been  inaccurate,  as,  due  to  unavoid- 
able delay  in  the  printing  and  distributing  of  the  woman's  blanks, 
in  many  States  the  campaign  was  well  under  way  before  they  came 
into  the  hands  of  the  women. 

The  financial  record  of  the  chairmen  of  the  National  Woman's 
Liberty  Loan  Committee  is  therefore  impossible  to  compute  accur- 
ately. In  the  following  report,  when  the  words  "actual  account" 
are  used,  it  indicates  that  the  State  chairman  has  claimed  only 


EEPOET  NATIONAL  WOMAN'S  LIBEETY  LOAN  COMMITTEE.

those  subscriptions  actually  taken  through  her  committee,  making 
no  allowance  for  money  subscribed  directly  to  the  banks  in  the 
blue  blanks  given  out  through  her  committee.  No  State  has  com- 
plete returns  from  every  county,  and  the  actual  account  takes  into 
consideration  only  those  counties  where  a  definite  record  was  kept. 
The  '^estimated  totals''  represent  this  amount,  added  to  what  the 
bankers  of  the  State  announce  to  be  their  estimate  of  money  sub- 
scribed through  them,  on  woman's  blanks. 

REPORT   CARD    SYSTEM. 

In  the  coming  campaign  there  will  be  no  attempt  made  to  differ- 
entiate the  woman's  blanks;  in  place  of  that,  a  system  of  reporting 
subscriptions  taken  has  been  worked  out,  and  report  cards  are  to 
be  mailed  daily  by  each  county  chairman  to  her  State  chairman, 
and  weekly  by  each  State  chairman  to  the  National  Committee  and 
to  her  Federal  reserve  chairman.  These  cards  will  shortly  be  dis- 
tributed.

The  above  is  not  in  the  least  a  complete  report  of  the  amounts 
subscribed  through  the  organizations  represented  on  the  National 
Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee's  Advisory  Council.  It  is  simply 
a  publication  of  the  office  record  of  such  as  reported  to  headquarters. 
The  majority  turned  their  subscriptions  in  to  the  chairmen  of  the 
various  States,  or  directly  into  banks  on  the  woman's  subscription 
blanks  distributed  through  their  organizations.  In  New  York  City 
alone,  women's  organizations  reported  over  $10,000,000  subscribed. 

1  It  is  interesting  to  note  that  the  estimates  made  by  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee 
of  total  amounts  due  to  women's  work  in  the  entire  United  States,  and  the  bankers'  estimates  in  those 
States  where  such  an  estimate  was  made,  arrive  at  approximately  the  same  figure  for  the  estimated  total 
of  women's  work  in  the  United  States.

Cooperation  with  Government  Departments. 

Under  the  cliairmansliip  of  Mrs.  Carl  F.  Kellerman,  each  depart- 
ment of  the  Government  was  organized  for  the  sale  of  Liberty  bonds 
to  women  employees.  A  Liberty  loan  chairman  was  appointed  in 
each  department,  committees  were  formed,  and  the  departments  were 
thoroughly  canvassed.  During  the  last  two  weeks  of  the  campaign, 
Mrs.  William  G.  McAdoo  and  Mrs.  Antoinette  Funk  spoke  at  noon 
meetings  to  large  groups  of  the  women  employees  of  the  Govern-

Miss  Florence  E.  Ward,  in  charge  of  tlie  extension  work  among 
women  conducted  by  the  Department  of  Agricultm-e,  rendered 
efficient  aid  to  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee. 
The  demonstration  agents  of  her  department,  North  and  West, 
were  instructed  to  carry  with  them  into  the  homes  of  the  country 
people  literature  and  subscription  blanks  from  the  National  Woman's 
Liberty  Loan  Committee.  Undoubtedly  many  women  subscribed 
through  this  agency. 

Miss  Ward  also  sent  letters  to  the  agricultural  colleges  in  all  States 
asking  their  cooperation  and  the  help  of  their  agents  in  the  field. 
Owing  to  unavoidable  delays  in  Washington,  this  work  was  taken 
up  so  late  in  the  campaign  that  there  was  not  time  to  reach  great 
numbers  of  people.  In  the  third  drive  for  the  sale  of  Liberty  bonds, 
the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  is  assured  of  con- 
tinued cooperation  with  the  Extension  Work  Division  of  the  United 
States  Department  of  Agriculture,  and  anticipates  a  large  sale  of 
bonds  through  this  channel. 


EEPOET  NATIONAL  WOMAN 's  LIBEETY  LOAN  COMMITTEE.         29 
REPORT  OF  TREASURER. 

During  the  first  two  Liberty  loan  campaigns,  the  expenses  of  the 
women's  committees,  Federal  reserve,  State,  and  city,  were  donated 
by  women,  or  were  paid  through  the  generosity  of  the  men's  com- 
mittees. The  total  expense  submitted  directly  to  the  Treasury 
Department  was  S3, 712. 16,  and  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan 
Committee  is  able  to  state  that  the  amount  of  money  contributed 
from  the  other  sources  was  small.  It  is  a  generous  estimate  to 
announce  that  $50,000  would  cover  the  entire  expenses  for  State 
campaigns  for  the  whole  country  in  the  second  issue. 

In  preparation  for  the  more  intensive  organization  of  the  women 
for  the  third  loan,  it  has  seemed  advisable  to  prepare  a  budget  of 
expenses  for  each  committee.  These  are  based  on  the  results  of  the 
women's  work  and  on  the  expenditures  necessary  in  the  earUer  loans. 
Below  are  copies  of  our  budget  forms.  All  budgets  have  been 
approved  by  the  finance  committee  and  by  a  Treasury  official 
before  the  money  was  put  to  the  credit  of  the  Federal  reserve  chair- 
men. When  it  seemed  advisable,  the  committee  has  raised  or  low- 
ered the  total  amount.  To  the  budgets  have  been  added  possible 
traveling  expenses  for  chairmen  of  Federal  reserve  districts.  States, 
and  counties,  in  order  to  insure  large  attendance  at  local  or  State 
conferences.  It  is  recommended  that  whenever  possible,  chairmen 
donate  their  traveling  expenses.  Careful  reports  of  aU  money  spent 
in  selling  the  loans,  whether  donated  or  paid  by  the  Treasury,  are  to 
be  kept  by  all  chairmen.  The  tendency  of  women  to  be  too  saving 
for  efficiency  has  been  illustrated  in  some  of  the  budgets  received. 
For  their  encouragement  and  for  the  restraint  of  the  extravagant,  the 
following  card  has  been  sent  out: 


DON*T  WASTE  MONEY. 

There  is  available,  through  Congressional  action,  for  the  selling  expenses  of 
the  loan  about  1  mill  in  every  dollar  of  Liberty  loan  bonds  sold. 

That  means  that  you  ought  to  consider  that  every  dollar  spent  should  result  in 
the  sale  of  at  least  a  thousand  dollars'  worth  of  bonds. 

Spend  your  money  to  sell  bonds  wisely. 
Don't  waste  the  Government  money. 
All  of  us  together  are  the  Government. 
It  is  our  money.

SPECIAL  FEATURES  OF  SECOND  LIBERTY  LOAN  CAMPAIGN. 

The  problem  of  perfecting  any  organization  that  shall  fit  the 
whole  United  States  is  a  difficult  one.  The  situations  in  different 
States  are  completely  dissimilar;  as,  for  example,  in  Delaware,  the 
State  chairman  can  reach  her  county  chairman  by  telephone  at  small 
expense,  or  get  to  them  comfortably  in  an  hour  or  two,  v/hile  a 
chairman  in  Montana  reports  that:  ''Our  counties  are  as  large  as 
many  good-sized  Eastern  States.  In  my  county  but  six  towns  can 
be  reached  by  rail.  The  roads  are  so  bad  that  last  week  a  doctor 
nearly  lost  his  life  in  a  50-mile  trip,  yet  we  must  reach  people  at 
these  magnificent  distances,  and  undertake  frequent  50  to  70  mile 
trips.  Mail  is  unsatisfactory,  for  it  takes  from  two  to  three  weeks 
to  secure  answers  from  some  localities.^'  It  has  been  found  impos- 
sible to  hold  rigidly  to  the  scheme  of  organization  outlined  in  this 


32 

report.  Some  of  the  departures  from  it  that  proved  successful 
locally  are  submitted  here. 

Florida  used  the  ready-made  organizations  of  the  State  because  of 
the  late  appointment  of  the  State  chairman.  Connecticut  worked  on 
a  town-unit  basis  instead  of  the  county.  Georgia  worked  through 
district,  rather  than  county,  chairmen.  Minnesota  organized 
through  three  important  cities,  Minneapolis,  St.  Paul,  and  Duiuth; 
the  woman's  Liberty  loan  committee  there  depended  upon  the 
county  chairmen  of  the  woman's  committee  of  State  defense  for  the 
sm^ll  towns  and  83  counties  of  the  State.  In  Oregon,  counties  being 
large  and  distances  to  travel  being  great,  the  county  units  were  found 
impossible,  the  State  was  divided  into  districts  making  certain  towns 
the  center. 

Some  of  the  features  introduced  locally  in  certain  parts  of  the 
country  are  of  sufficient  importance  to  be  commented  upon  in  this 
report. 

SCHOOL   CHILDREN. 

In  ^Michigan,  Mrs.  Delphine  Dodge  Ashbaugh,  the  woman's  Liberty 
loan  committee  chairman,  called  a  conference  of  the  teachers  of  the 
English  classes  in  the  high  schools  in  Detroit,  and  as  a  result  the 
following  plan  was  developed:  During  the  Liberty  loan  campaign, 
the  children  in  the  English  classes  were  allowed  to  devote  their  time 
to  Liberty  loan  work.  They  wrote  themes,  planned  speeches,  made 
posters,  etc.,  all  of  which  were  put  to  practical  use.  The  boys  and 
girls  spoke  before  the  different  rooms.  As  a  result  of  the  enthusiasm 
aroused  in  this  way,  they  sold  over  $1,500,000  worth  of  bonds. 

In  Illinois,  Mrs.  Howard  Willson,  the  woman's  Liberty  loan  com- 
mittee chairman,  secured  the  aid  of  the  school  children  of  the  State 
in  the  following  manner:  She  appealed  to  the  State  superintendent 
of  public  instruction  to  divide  the  schools  of  the  State  into  three 
groups.  He  then  wrote  a  letter  to  the  county  and  city  superin- 
tendents of  schools,  asking  their  cooperation  in  putting  before  the 
children  the  plan  for  the  campaign  in  the  State.  Gov.  Lowden 
consented  to  give  three  flags,  one  to  each  school  in  which  the  greatest 
number  of  bonds  was  sold  per  capita  according  to  the  enrollment.  A 
letter  was  sent  by  the  State  Liberty  loan  chairman  to  county  and 
city  teachers  asking  their  aid,  and  a  special  appeal  to  the  children 
themselves  was  issued  on  cards  printed  in  red  and  blue.  As  a  result 
the  school  children  secured,  in  Chicago  alone,  subscriptions  for 
$2,130,350  worth  of  Liberty  bonds. 

A   MILE   OF   NICKLES. 

In  Washington,  D.  C,  Mrs.  Ernest  Thompson  Seton  developed  an 
interesting  scheme  with  a  double  appeal.  A  day  was  set  apart  as 
children's  day  with  the  slogan  ^'A  Mile  of  Nickles,"  and  children 


I 


33 

from  all  public  and  private  schools,  orphan  asylums,  and  all  children 
of  members  of  patriotic  societies,  were  invited  to  attend  in  a  body 
at  different  hours  of  the  day  and  bring  their  nickels,  which  they 
deposited  in  a  bank  in  the  form  of  a  large  Liberty  bell.  Their  names 
were  then  inscribed  on  a  roll  of  honor.  The  money  was  used  to 
purchase  Liberty  bonds  to  be  contributed  to  the  fatherless  children 
of  France.  An  authorized  custodian  of  this  association  was  present 
during  the  day.  Special  features  of  children  in  costume,  both 
military  and  historical,  were  announced  through  the  press  at  specified 
times.  Speakers  for  the  Liberty  loan  addressed  large  crowds  about 
the  booth. 

PARADES. 

Children's  parades  were  held  in  various  parts  of  the  country  with 
tableau  ^'floats"  representing  important  events  in  American  history. 
Two  of  these  parades  which  were  notably  successful  were  Lincoln, 
111.,  and  in  Puyallup,  Wash. 

In  Minneapolis,  in  a  Liberty  Day  parade,  there  was  a  special 
division  of  wives  and  mothers  of  soldiers,  each  woman  carrying 
her  service  flag.  Their  banner  read,  ''We  have  given  our  men. 
They  are  more  precious  than  dollars." 


In  Keno,  Nev.,  the  girls  of  Reno  College  sold  ''hot  dogs"  in  street 
booths  in  order  to  raise  money  to  buy  Liberty  bonds  as  an  endow- 
ment fund  for  the  college. 

EXEMPTED  MEN. 

In  Illinois  an  appeal  was  made  to  all  exempted  men.  The  Federal 
exemption  ofhcers  furnished  the  names  and  addresses  of  about 
150,000.  The  card  sent  to  them  seemed  to  the  bankers  such  valuable 
material  that  it  was  asked  for  and  recommended  by  them  to  aU 
States  in  the  8th  district. 

SPEAKERS. 

In  Rhode  Island,  the  woman's  Liberty  loan  committee  interested 
a  number  of  young  women  in  the  speaking  end  of  the  campaign,  and 
prepared  with  them  four-minute  addresses. 

At  the  State  defense  headquarters  in  Chicago  two  classes  in 
public  speaking  on  patriotic  subjects  have  been  conducted  by  Prof. 
Nelson  of  the  University  of  Chicago. 

CLUBS. 

In  Washington,  D.  C,  the  Twentieth  Century  Club  was  divided 
into  sections  of  20  women  each,  and  one  woman  was  appointed  to 
present  the  Liberty  loan  appeal  to  every  woman  in  her  section.

ACTORS     BENEFIT. 

At  an  actors'  benefit  in  the  opera  house  in  Providence,  R.  I.,  where 
acts  from  every  theater  were  given  and  speeches  made  for  the  Lib- 
erty loan,  the  entire  proceeds  of  the  entertainment  were  invested  in 
Liberty  bonds  and  given  to  the  actors'  benefit  fund. 

mothers'  appeal. 

Li  Milwaukee,  Wis.,  Mrs.  John  W.  Mariner,  the  woman's  Liberty 
loan  chairman,  had  two  large  signs  hung  across  the  principal  street: 
'^Mothers  who  have  given  their  sons  to  end  this  war  beg  you  to  buy 
a  Liberty  bond." 

liberty  day. 

Liberty  Day  was  suggested  to  Secretary  McAdoo  by  a  member  of 
the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee.  He  chose  October 
24  as  the  date,  and  instructed  the  committees  working  for  the  loan 
all  over  the  country  to  make  this  day  the  climax  of  their  drive. 
The  President  of  the  United  States  announced  a  general  hoHday,  and 
in  every  city  and  town  of  importance,  and  in  almost  every  county, 
speeches  were  made,  and  on  the  evening  before,  Liberty  bonfires 
were  hghted,  this  feature  also  being  suggested  by  a  member  of  the 
National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee. 

WASHINGTON   BONFIRE. 

In  Washington,  a  monster  Liberty  fire  was  lighted  near  the  base 
of  the  Washington  Monument  on  Liberty  Eve.  Wood  had  been  sent 
from  places  of  historical  interest  in  practically  every  State  in  the 
Union;  there  were  pieces  from  the  boyhood  home  of  the  President 
in  Georgia,  Lincoln's  home  in  Illinois,  Cleveland's  birthplace  in  New 
Jersey,  Custer's  headquarters  in  North  Dakota,  the  Aztec  House,  near 
Roosevelt  Dam  in  Arizona,  Grant's  home  in  Missouri,  the  Consti- 
tutional Elm  at  Cory  don,  Ind.,  the  old  Blue  Lick  battlefield  of  Ken- 
tucky, the  homes  of  Presidents  Jackson,  Johnson,  and  Polk,  from 
Tennessee,  etc.  The  fire  was  lighted  by  Mrs.  McAdoo,  and  at  the 
same  moment  the  signal  was  given  to  start  the  fires  that  crowned 
the  Virginia  hills  on  the  opposite  side  of  the  river.  Enormous  crowds 
witnessed  this  ceremony,  and  papers  all  over  the  country  printed 
accounts  of  it. 

REACHING   THE   RURAL   DISTRICTS. 

The  agricultural  population  in  the  various  States  was  reached  by 
the  following  means:  Rest  rooms  in  county  courthouse;  advertising; 
speaking;  country  newspapers;  house-to-house  canvassing;  circulari- 
zation,  and  personal  letters ;  personal  visits ;  distribution  of  literature ; 
patriotic  meetings  at  schoolhouses ;  market  days  in  town;  churches; 
country  stores;  rural  letter  carriers;  telephone  solicitation. 


LOAN  COMMITTEE.  35 

Meetings  were  held  generally  at  school  houses,  churches,  granges, 
fairs,  fraternal  meetings,  and  all  other  gatherings. 

There  was  much  interesting  pubhcity  in  the  newspapers  in  each 
State.  The  copy  given  below  is  possibly  the  most  important  single 
instance  of  women's  appeal  in  paid  advertising  in  the  press: 

Women — For  the  Next  Four  Days. 

Put  aside  any  work  that  interferes  with  your  doing  your  utmost  to  §how  how  much 
you  care  whether  or  not  this  country  wins  this  war. 

Doing  your  bit  is  not  enough.  Doing  onr  best  and  then  bettering  it  is  what  we 
must  do  right  now. 

WTien  the  colonial  soldiers  ran  short  of  bullets  in  their  struggle  for  independence 
their  "women  folks"  melted  lead,  ran  bullets,  and  carried  them  to  the  fighters  "behind 
each  fence  and  farmyard  wall."  Ammunition  for  this  fight  for  freedom  is  not  going 
to  be  home-made,  but  the  mothers  of  ihe  fighting  j:q.en  must  provide  liieir  share  of 
it  just  the  same. 

If  you  ever  wondered  whether  you  could  have  been  a  heroine  of  the  Revolution, 
now  is  your  chance  to  find  out.  Whether  history  puts  the  women  of  1917  alongside  of 
the  women  of  '76  depends  on  what  we  all  do  in  the  next  four  days. 

There  is  nothing  dramatic  about  buying  liberty  bonds,  and  it  may  take  more 
courage  than  running  off  leaden  bullets. 

If  the  front-line  trenches  were  just  over  in  Detroit,  we  would  volunteer  all  our 
resources.  Because  the  line  is  a  little  farther  away,  are  we  to  let  our  soldiers  think 
that  from  Michigan  to  France,  by  way  of  Texas,  is  too  far  for  our  loyalty  to  go?  It  is 
unbelievable  that  our  help  for  them  should  be  more  remote  than  their  sacrifices  for  us. 

Somewhere  in  that  gigantic  fighting  unit  is  the  man  who  makes  this  war  ''my  war" 
for  each  one  of  us.  We  must  match  his  gift  of  all  with  our  gift  of  all  and,  like  him,  be 
ready  to  pay  on  demand. 

That  demand  has  come.  For  the  first  time  in  our  remembrance  women  are  asked 
to  come  into  big  business  as  partnei's.  For  the  most  part  women  have  been  ciphers 
when  it  came  to  large  finance .  Now  we  have  a  chance  to  prove  that  the  only  difference 
between  a  million  and  a  billion  is  a  few  ciphers  at  the  right  side  of  the  line.  That  is 
our  side. 

If  we  wake  up  to  the  chance  of  the  next  four  days  and  do  it  now,  we  shall  have  a 
share  in  victory.  If  we  wake  up  next  week,  we  shall  miss  our  chance  and  help  the 
enemy.  Let  us  do  something  more  than  talk  and  knit  and  patch  up  mistakes.  Wlien 
it  comes  to  food  and  shoes  and  munitions,  fifty  dollars'  worth  of  Liberty  bonds  is  more 
persuasive  than  the  tongue  of  an  angel. 

If  every  woman  buys  or  makes  someone  else  buy  one  Liberty  bond  to-day,  the 
success  of  the  loan  is  assured . 

Are  those  men  out  there  in  the  cold  and  hardships  to  thinlv  of  us  as  just  reserves, 
safely  back  of  the  line?  Or  are  they  to  know  that  we  are  fiide  by  side  at  the  very 
front,  the  army  of  support  and  the  army  of  action,  standing  shoulder  to  shoulder? 

We  know  the  answer.    Right  there  is  the  place  where  we  should  be,  and  there  is 
where  we  will  be.     So,  altogether,  with  a^ll  our  strength  and  courage  and  love  for  the 
men  who  are  fighting  for  us,  let  us  go  "over  the  top, ' '  and  may  God  help  us!

RECOMMENDATIONS   TO    STATE   CHAIRMEN    FOR   THIRD    LIBERTY 

LOAN  CAMPAIGN. 

COOPERATION   WITH   ORGANIZATIONS. 

All  State  organizations  of  women  should  be  utilized.  The  State 
chairman  may  effect  this  cooperation  by  — 

(1)  Letter  to  State  representatives  asking  their  cooperation. 

(2)  Calling  a  conference  of  all  State  organizations  to  form  a  work- 
ing committee. 

(3)  Asking  State  representatives  to  appoint  members  in  counties, 
cities,  villages,  and  townships  to  work  with  local  Liberty  loan 
chairman. 

(4)  Circularizing  State  organizations  for  the  loan. 

(5)  Asking  for  volunteer  workers  from  each  organization  to  join 
flying  squadrons  of  bond  saleswomen  during  campaign. 


88  BEPOBT  NATIO]S'AL  WOMAN'S  LIBEETY  LOAN  COMMITTEE. 

(6)  Making  arrangements  for  Liberty  loan  speakers  at  State  and 
local  meetings  of  organizations. 

(7)  Communicating  with  Mrs.  Kellogg  Fairbank,  chairman,  ad- 
visory coimcil  conunittee,  Treasury  Building,  Washington,  D.  C. 

COOPERATION   WITH  CLERGY. 

The  State  chairman  should  make  full  use  of  the  churches  and 
religious  organizations  in  conducting  her  campaign. 

(1)  An  appeal  should  be  sent  to  ministers  of  all  denominations  to 
emphasize  from  the  pulpit  the  necessity  of  buying  Liberty  bonds. 

(2)  Special  attention  should  be  paid  to  the  churches  in  rural  dis- 
tricts, as  this  is  often  the  only  agency  through  which  residents  of 
remote  country  districts  can  be  reached, 

(3)  If  agreeable  to  the  minister,  arrangements  shoidd  be  made  for 
speakers  to  appear  in  churches  at  evening  services. 

(4)  The  ladies'  aid  societies,  guilds,  and  other  women's  auxiharies, 
should  be  enhsted  in  the  bond-selling  campaign, 

COOPERATION  WITH  SCHOOLS. 

It  is  hoped  that  each  State  chairman  will  devote  eonsiderable 
attention  to  cooperation  with  the  public  and  private  schools  in  the 
coming  campaign,  as  where  this  was  practiced  in  the  previous  drives 
the  results  secured  were  invaluable,  not  so  much  in  the  amount  of 
bonds  actually  sold,  although  this  was  worth  while  in  itself,  as  in 
the  carrying  baek  into  the  home  of  each  child  the  ideal  of  patriotic 
service  through  buying  a  Liberty  bond. 

For  special  organizing  of  school  activities,  see  section  "Special 
Features  of  the  Second  Liberty  Loan  Campaign."  Further  informa- 
tion may  be  secured  by  commimicating  with  Mrs.  Ella  Flagg  Young, 
chairman,  school  teachers'  activities. 

COOPERATION  WITH  COLLEGES. 

Where  the  opportunity  was  given  them,  it  was  found  that  students 
in  all  institutions  of  higher  education  were  keenly  alive  to  the  signifi- 
cance of  the  Liberty  loan  campaign,  and  were  eager  to  assist  in  every 
way  possible.  The  following  suggestions  for  a  college  campaign  arc 
made: 

(1)  The  State  chairman  shoidd  write  a  letter  to  the  dean  of  women 
in  every  coUego  in  her  State,  asking  her  to  form  a  Liberty  loan  unit 
in  the  coUege. 

(2)  Student  committees  should  then  be  appointed  to  canvass  each 
university.  All  records  made  by  such  committees  should  be  given 
the  widest  possible  publicity. 

(3)  Colleges  should  be  recruited  for  women  speakers,  and  oratorical 
departments  in  colleges  should  be  stimulated  to  develop  them.  A 
special  course  in  patriotic  speaking  would  be  of  great  value. 


EEPORT  NATIONAL  WOMAN 's  ILIBEETY  LOAN  COMMITTEE.         39 
SPEAKEK-S. 

Without  exception,  every  State  diairman  reported  that  in  the  last 
campaign  she  had  too  much  printed  matter  and  too  few  speakers. 
Therefore  the  amount  of  literature  sent  out  in  the  succeeding  cam- 
paign will  he  greatly  reduced.  Experience  has  proved  in  every  sec- 
tion of  the  country  that  the  spoken  word  is  the  most  effective  method 
of  reaching  the  people.  In  one  State,  for  example,  the  chairman 
reported  that  only  35  per  cent  of  the  population  knows  how  to  read; 
if  bonds  are  to  be  sold  under  such  conditions,  speakers  must  reach 
every  community  in  the  State.  Women  employed  in  industrial 
plants  have  little  time  to  read  the  daily  papers;  they  should  be 
appealed  to  at  noon  meetings  by  speakers  accompanied  by  some  one 
who  will  take  subscriptions  after  a  short  talk  on  Liberty  bonds. 

At  all  meetings  of  the  rural  population  a  Liberty  loan  speaker 
shoidd  present  her  appeal,  and  all  clubs,  federated  and  unfederated, 
should  be  appealed  to  at  all  meetings  held  while  a  Liberty  loan  cam- 
paign is  in  progress.  Meetings  should  be  held  in  rest  rooms  of  de- 
partment stores,  on  street  comers,  everywhere  that  the  public  may 
be  reached. 

This  program  means  that  great  effort  must  be  made  to  list  and 
develop  local  speakers  in  every  part  of  the  State,  and  State  chairmen 
are  urged  to  investigate  all  possibilities.  Many  women,  without 
previous  experience  in  speaking,  developed  into  effective  speakers 
during  the  campaign.  If  there  is  an  existing  speakers'  bureau  in 
connection  with  the  banking  committee,  the  State  defense  eom- 
mittee,  or  any  patriotic,  fraternal,  professional,  or  business  associa- 
tion, the  State  chairman  should  endeavor  to  have  a  representative 
on  this  committee  and  to  see  that  all  speakers  are  available  for 
Liberty  loan  work  during  the  campaign. 

If  there  is  no  such  speakers'  bureau  in  her  State,  the  Liberty  loan 
chairman  should  appoint  a  committee  to  form  a  Liberty  loan  speak- 
ers' bureau,  with  instructions  to  canvass  all  colleges,  associations  of 
professional  women,  social  service  workers,  club  women,  etc.,  in 
search  of  speakers;  to  hst  these  women,  enroll  them  for  service  during 
the  campaign,  and  see  that  so  far  as  possible  all  parts  of  the  State 
are  covered  by  them. 

For  important  meetings  m  large  centers.  State  chairmen  will  be 
able  to  secure  speakers  of  national  importance  by  applying  to  their 
Federal  reserve  chainnan,  provided  they  comply  with  the  ruling  of 
the  Director  of  the  Speakers'  Bureau  of  the  Treasury  Department. 

Statement  of  Charles  F.  Horner,  Director  of  Treasury  Speakers*  Bureau. 

"If  any  chairman  of  a  Federal  reserve  district,  serving  on  the 
woman's  Liberty  loan  committee,  will  submit  an  itinerary  of  not  less 
than  six  towns  in  her  district,  the  speakers'  bureau  in  Washington 


40 

will  be  glad  to  send  a  speaker  to  cover  the  meetings,  at  the  expense 
of  the  Treasury  Department.  When  the  request  comes,  the  chair- 
man of  the  speakers'  bureau  will  endeavor  to  sejid  a  woman  speaker, 
but  if  one  can  not  be  secured  a  man  will  be  sent.  It  is  assumed  that 
a  demand  will  be  made  only  for  meetings  of  considerable  size,  and 
that  the  request  will  be  made  at  least  a  week  in  advance  of  the  first 
meeting.'' 

NJJWSPAPER  PUBLICITY. 

It  should  be  borne  in  mind  that  the  success  of  the  bond  issue  is 
largely  dependent  upon  advertising.  People  will  not  buy  bonds 
unless  they  know  they  are  on  sale.  While  the  actual  contact  with 
the  editors  of  newspapers  is  largely  in  the  hands  of  city  or  town 
chairmen,  the  State  chairman  is  urged  to  meet  the  principal  editors 
of  her  State  and  to  discuss  with  them  the  matter  of  publicity  before 
the  next  campaign  opens.  She  should  also  instruct  the  county 
chairmen  to  call  upon  the  editors  of  the  papers  in  their  counties  and 
to  arrange  to  give  them  stories  of  the  local  woman's  committee  work. 
A  chairman  of  publicity  should  be  appointed  by  each  State  chairman, 
whose  duties  should  include  a  supervision  of  the  woman's  Liberty 
loan  publicity  in  the  papers  of  her  State. 

The  newspapers  have  given  splendid  service  to  the  country  in  the 
two  past  campaigns  for  the  sale  of  Liberty  bonds.  The  editors  in 
the  United  States  have  proved  that  they  are  willing  to  do  their  part, 
but  the  Liberty  loan  chairman  must  keep  in  mind  that  it  is  not 
reasonable  to  expect  them  to  print  material  "unless  it  is  of  timely 
interest;  it  is  a  part  of  such  chairman's  duty  to  develop  novel  and 
unique  schemes  which  wiU  attract  attention  and  compel  space  in. the 
papers  because  they  will  be  news. 

CHANGES    IN   ORGANIZATION. 

If  any  change  is  made  in  organization  within  the  State  as  outlined 
by  the  national  committee,  the  State  chairman  is  requested  to  consult 
with  the  National  Committee  at  Washington  in  regard  to  it.  Recom- 
mendations for  organization  have  been  made  after  a  careful  study  of 
the  reports  of  aU  State  chairmen,  and  while  the  National  Committee 
does  not  wish  to  be  unreasonably  rigid  in  regard  to  such  matters,  it 
does  wish  to  have  definite  reasons  submitted  for  any  proposed  changes 
in  the  official  plan  of  organization.

WAR   SAVINGS.      . 

The  National  War  Savings  Committee  has  asked  for  the  cooperation 
of  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  in  the  work  of 
selling  war  savings  certificates  and  thrift  stamps.  Mrs.  George  Bass, 
secretary  of  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee,  is  a 
member  of  the  National  War  Savings  Committee  and  represents  the 
Liberty  loan  organization  there.  In  every  case  the  State  chairman 
for  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  has  been  made 
a  member  of  the  State  executive  committee  for  war  savings,  and 
locally  many  of  our  chairmen  are  giving  their  time  between  Liberty 
loan  campaigns  to  the  work  of  the  War  Savings  Committee.  When 
a  Liberty  loan  drive  is  announced  all  women  enrolled  to  work  for  the 
sale  of  Liberty  bonds  are  released  for  that  prior  responsibility. 

FRANKING    PRIVILEGE. 

USE  OF  FRANKED  OR  PENALTY  ENVELOPES. 

The  franking  privilege  has  been  extended  to  the  National  Woman's 
Liberty  Loan  Committee  under  the  following  provisions: 

As  to  National  Committee  memhers. — The  members  of  the  National 
Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee,  all  of  whom  act  on  behalf  of 
the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury,  will  have  the  use  of  penalty  envelopes 
in  conducting  official  business. 

\"  As  to  Federal  resen^e  and  State  cliainfnen. — Federal  reserve  and 
State  chairmen,  whose  offices  will  be  located  in  their  respective 
districts  or  States,  are  like  the  members  of  the  National  Committee, 
appointees  of  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury.  In  the  performance 
of  their  duties  by  virtue  of  such  appointment  they  will  carry  on 
correspondence  relating  exclusively  to  the  business  of  the  Govern- 
ment of  the  United  States,  and  in  such  correspondence  they  are 
entitled  to  the  use  of  penalty  envelopes. 

%  As  to  local  committee  chairmen, — The  franking  privilege  has  been 
made  available  to  the  executive  chairman  of  the  regular  Liberty  loan 
organization  in  each  city  or  county.  Individuals  in  each  city  or 
county  who  will  have  the  right  to  use  the  iranls.  wiU  be  designated 
by  the  executive  committee  of  that  Federal  reserve  district,  and  will 
be  furnished  with  a  printed  authorization  making  him  a  Treasury 
representative.  Subordinate  conmaittees  may  have  the  right  to  use 
the  frank  imder  his  direction,  provided  all  literature  contains  the 
signature  of  this  executive  committee  chairman,  either  printed  or 
written.  For  example,  if  a  subordinate  committee  of  the  Woman's 
Liberty  Loan  Organization  wishes  to  send  out  a  communication  under 


REPORT  NATION^AL  WOMAN 's  LIBERTY  LOAN"  COMMITTEE.         43 

frank,  it  would  contain  the  signature  of  the  executive  chairman  who 
is  the  Treasury  representative,  and  the  additional  signature  of  the 
Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee. 

POSTAL   LAWS   AND    REGULATIONS. 

Any  department  or  officer  authorized  to  use  the  penalty  envelopes  may  inclose 
them  with  return  address  to  any  person  or  persons  from  whom  or  through  whom 
official  information  is  desired,  the  same  to  be  used  only  to  cover  such  official 
information,  and  indorsements  relating  thereto. 

The  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  is  advised  that 
distribution  of  pamphlets,  etc.,  in  many  instances  is  not  to  be  made 
from  the  offices  of  State  chairmen,  as  originally  contemplated, 
but  rather  through  offices  of  county  or  city  chairmen.  Under 
those  circumstances,  the  State  chairman  would  be  justified  in  sending 
to  county  and  city  chairmen  only  such  number  of  penalty  envelopes 
as  would  be  actually  required  for  distribution  of  particular  pieces 
of  literature  from  time  to  time.  Great  caution  should  be  exercised 
by  Federal  and  State  chairmen  to  see  that  penalty  envelopes  are 
not  furnished  to  county  or  city  chairmen  except  when  needed  in 
individual  or  particular  instances  and  never  in  excess  of  the  actual 
quantity  needed  for  a  particular  distribution.  This  obligation  is 
moral  in  character,  both  because  of  our  relations  with  the  Treasury 
Department,  which  has  made  such  a  generous  extension  of  the 
franking  privilege  to  us,  and  because  of  the  fact  that  we  should  not 
make  it  easy  for  any  person  to  misuse  penalty  envelopes.

Report  on  Distribution 


Immediately  upon  the  closing  of  the  Second  Liberty  Loan  camnaign,  preparations  for 
the  printing  of  supplies  and  literature  for  the  Third  Loan  were  commenced  at  the  Washington 
headquarters.  Questionnaires  as  to  the  amount  required  for  the  next  campaign  were  sent  to  al! 
State  Chairmen  in  December,  but  as  some  of  the  replies  were  considerably  delayed,  it  was  neces- 
sary in  many  cases  to  estimate  the  quantity  of  letter-heads  and  envelopes  for  the  various  states. 
This  was  done,  and  an  order  for  one  million  envelopes  for  the  use  of  Federal  Reserve,  State,  and 
County  Chairmen  was  placed  early  in  January,with  an  additional  million  for  circularizationfrom 
the  Washington  headquarters.  A  part  of  these  orders  were  received  from  the  Government 
envelope  factories  the  latter  part  of  February,  but  it  was  not  until  the  last  of  March  that  a  suffi- 
cient quantity  wad  received  to  supply  all  State  Chairmen.  Three  forms  of  letter-heads  were 
ordered:  one  for  the  use  of  the  National  Committee,  one  marked  "Office  of  Federal  Reserve  Chair- 
man," and  one  "Office  of  State  Chairman."  The  first  distribution  of  these  was  made  on  February 
9th,  and  additional  orders  were  filled  as  they  were  received. 

Arrangements  were  made  with  the  Distribution  Division  of  the  Publicity  Bureau  to  utilize 
their  equipment  for  the  handling  of  the  supplies  and  literature  sent  out  by  this  Committee  in 
order  to  obviate  the  necessity  of  establishing  a  separate  distribution  department  for  the 
Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee,  thus  making  it  possible  for  the  entire  work  of  the  campaign 
to  be  handled  by  the  regular  office  force  of  five  members.  The  requests  for  additional 
material  which  were  received  by  telegram  and  by  mail  daily  throughout  the  campaign  were,  in 
every  instance,  transmitted  to  the  Distribution  Division  within  a  few  hours  after  their  receipt, 
and  were  sent  out  therefrom  as  promptly  as  conditions  would  allow. 

The  greatest  complaint  of  delay  and  non-receipt  of  supplies  from  the  State  Chairmen  was 
made  regarding  application  blanks,  and  the  various  pieces  of  literature  and  buttons  issued  by  the 
Publicity  Bureau  of  the  Treasury.  The  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  had  no 
control  over  any  of  this  material.  The  distribution  reports  on  stationery  and  literature  from  this 
Committee  which  were  sent  out  to  the  State  Chairmen  to  be  filled  in  with  the  date  on  which  the 
material  was  received,  and  which  are  on  file  in  the  office  of  the  Committee  at  Washington,  show 
that  in  the  majority  of  cases  the  material  from  this  Committee  and  under  the  control  of  this  Com- 
mittee arrived  within  a  reasonable  length  of  time  after  the  orders  were  received. 

Aside  from  the  various  items  of  stationery,  including  the  daily  report  cards,  the  following 
material  was  issued  by  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee:  Report  of  the  First  and 
Second  Liberty  Loan  Campaigns,  compiled  by  Mrs.  Fairbank;  Information  Folder  for  Liberty 
Loan  Workers,  Dodgers  to  Women  in  Industry,  and  Primers  of  the  National  Woman's  Liberty 
Loan  Committee,  written  by  Miss  Synon;  Why  Farmers  Should  Buy  Bonds,  taken  from  a  pamph- 
let issued  by  the  Dallas  Federal  Reserve  District;  "Equal  Partners,"  reprint  of  the  address  made 
by  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  at  Richmond  on  April  8th. 

In  addition  to  this  literature,  all  of  which  was  sent  to  the  State  Chairmen  for  distribution, 
the  following  material  was  sent  direct  to  the  mailing  list  of  County  Chairmen:  Recommendations 
to  County  Chairmen,  including  letter  giving  instructions  as  to  use  of  report  cards;  Reference 
Book  for  Speakers  published  by  the  League  to  Enforce  Peace,  and  a  copy  of  the  dodger  "Your 
Country  Appeals  to  You,"  issued  by  the  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  of  Birmingham, 
Alabama,  in  the  second  campaign — this  proved  to  be  one  of  the  most  effective  pieces  of  literature 
distributed  by  this  Committee,  and  was  reprinted  by  five  or  six  of  the  State  Chairmen.  Keeping 
these  lists  of  county  chairmen  up  to  date  by  making  the  corrections  and  additions  sent  in  daily 
by  the  State  Chairmen  during  the  campaign  required  the  time  of  half  of  the  office  force  during 
the  campaign.  It  has  been  found  impracticable  to  distribute  direct  to  the  county  chairmen 
from  the  national  headquarters  because  of  the  immense  amount  of  labor  involved  and  because 
it  is  impossible  to  make  the  necessary  corrections  in  time  to  assure  receipt  of  the  material  during 
the  campaign. 

In  order  to  meet  the  urgent  demand  throughout  the  country  for  literature  and  publicity 
material  in  addition  to  that  provided  for  by  the  National  Committee,  arrangements  were  rnade 
with  the  Publicity  Bureau  of  the  Treasury  Department  to  turn  over  a  portion  of  their  advertising 
material  for  distribution  by  the  women's  committees.  As  most  of  this  material  was  already  in 
the  hands  of  the  Liberty  Loan  Committees  of  the  Federal  Reserve  Districts  when  the  matter  was 
taken  up,  it  was  necessary  to  provide  for  its  distribution  through  the  Federal  Reserve  Chairmen 
of  the  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee.  In  some  of  the  districts,  the  chairmen  arranged  for 
ample  supplies  to  be  sent  to  the  State  Chairmen,  or  to  the  County  Chairmen  direct  if  so  desired 
by  the  State  Chairman.  In  other  districts,  however,  the  only  arrangement  that  could  be  made  \ 
with  the  Liberty  Loan  Committees  was  to  send  all  material  to  the  men  county  chairmen  and  rely 
upon  them  to  turn  over  a  sufficient  quantity  for  the  women's  needs.

The  National  League  for  Woman's  Service  had  booths  in  numerous  large  cities  throughout 
the  country,  where  noonday  meetings  were  held  daily.  Some  of  the  cities  in  which  they  were 
organized  and  did  wonderful  work  are  Milwaukee,  Detroit  and  Ncm'  York  City.  In  Salt  Lake 
City,  Utah,  they  organized  a  woman's  parade,  which  resulted  in  splendid  enthuj^iasm.

The  Stage  Women's  War  Relief  Association  maintained  a  Liberty  Theatre  in  front  of  the 
Public  Library  on  5th  Avenue  and  42nd  Street  in  New  York  City,  where  for  six  hours  daily 
prominent  speakers  and  actors  interested  the  public.  For  the  last  two  weeks  of  the  Loan  this 
Society  sent  out  a  traveling  theatre  to  visit  the  crowded  districts  of  the  city  each  day. 
Actors  and  actresses  of  importance  spoke  and  gave  performances  from  this  theatre  as  an  appeal 
to  buy  Liberty  Bonds.  In  various  cities  this  Society  was  of  great  aid  to  the  Woman's  Liberty 
Loan  Committee. 

The  Girl  Scouts  Organization  under  the  supervision  of  their  leaders  and  In  direct  co-opera- 
tion with  the  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  sold  Liberty  Bonds  at  special  booths,  their 
subscriptions  amounting  to  33,151,100.00.  They  acted  as  messengers,  they  distributed 
quantities  of  publicity  literature,  they  organized  publicity  rallies,  and  marched  in  numerous 
parades.

The  Committee  on  Women's  War  Work  maintained  several  booths  in  New  York  City,  and 
by  circularizing  their  membership  were  able  to  provide  500  women  to  serve  in  booths  for  the 
local  Liberty  Loan  Committee. 

■^^^^■^■^^^^i^■^^i^■^^■^^ 

The  National  Federation  of  College  Women  maintained  booths  in  the  cities  throughout  the 
country  in  which  they  were  located.  They  did  much  personal  campaigning,  speech  making, 
supplying  speakers  and  special  work  among  foreigners. 

The  National  Association  of  Colored  Women,  through  whose  efforts  five  million  dollars 
worth  of  Bonds  were  sold  were  organized  for  work  In  almost  every  city  In  the  United  States. 
The  National  President  of  this  Association  worked  very  hard  to  arouse  the  enthusiasm  of  her 
people,  traveling  over  the  country  at  her  own  expense.  She  reports  that  In  Savannah,  Georgia, 
over  a  quarter  oif  a  million  dollars  was  raised,  and  In  a  tobacco  factory  39,100  was  raised  by  poor 
women,  low  wage  earners. 

The  National  Woman's  Christian  Temperance  Union,  circularized  all  its  branches,  of 
which  there  are  about  20,000,  urging  them  to  Invest  their  permanent  funds  in  Libery  Bonds, 
and  where.  In  a  locality  they  could  not  afford  to  purchase  Bonds,  recommended  that  they  form 
groups  for  the  purchase  of  Bonds  to  be  given  to  their  National  Treasury.  Where  groups  were 
not  formed,  Individuals  were  urged  to  send  such  small  sums  as  they  could  to  the  National  Treas- 
urer for  the  purchase  of  bonds  for  the  National  W.  C.  T.  U. 


Woman  s  Committees  of  the  State  Councils 
of  Defense 

In  many  states  the  women  enrolled  as  officers  and  members  in  the  State  Council  of  Defense 
organization  rendered  important  service  to  the  chairmen  of  the  various  Woman's  Liberty  Loan 
Committees,  and  assisted  materially  in  the  sale  of  Liberty  Bonds.

Experience  of  a  Rural  Chairman  in  Delaware:  After  explaining  to  a  farmer  the  impor- 
tance of  buying  Bonds  he  said  he  had  no  money.  After  thinking  a  moment  he  asked  her  if  she 
would  take  Lincoln  pennies.  Assuring  him  she  would,  they  proceeded  to  his  house  where  he 
brought  forth  his  wealth  to  the  extent  of  forty-five  hundred  Lincoln  pennies,  which  with  a 
five-dollar  bill  he  paid  for  his  bond.

In  Manchester,  New  Hampshire,  the  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  had  entire  man- 
agement of  the  Liberty  Loan  Cottage  on  the  public  square  of  the  city,  providing  daily  speakers, 
frequent  music  and  regular  solicitors  for  subscriptions.

Total  sum  raised  by  the  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  of  Nevada  was  31,009,050.00. 
The  total  expenses  for  the  campaign  were  3178.00.  Fifteen  counties  organized  in  state  and  only 
two  sent  in  expense  accounts.     Counties  raised  their  expenses  in  various  ways.

In  Omaha,  Nebraska,  the  Liberty  Bank,  a  repHca  of  the  Sub-Treasury  of  New  York,  was 
organized  through  the  National  League  for  Woman's  Service,  an  organization  listed  on  the 
Advisory  Council  to  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee,  and  the  work  in  Omaha 
was  done  by  the  officers  and  members  of  the  Omaha  branch  of  the  League. 

The  Bank  was  formally  opened  on  April  8th,  1918,  by  Mayor  Dahlman  and  Mr.  T.  C. 
Byrne,  State  Chairman,  Third  Liberty  Loan  Committee.  Up  to  the  closing  on  Saturday  night, 
May  4th,  there  were  1510  Bonds  sold,  with  a  total  of  3710,200.  Noon  day  speeches  were  given 
each  day  by  prominent  speakers  and  music  was  furnished. 

During  the  four  weeks  the  bank  was  opened  each  day  at  nine  o'clock  and  closed  at  six 
o'clock,  with  the  exception  of  Saturdays,  when  it  closed  at  nine  o'clock.  A  regular  banking 
system  was  installed  and  thousands  of  dollars  in  cash  and  checks  were  handled  each  day.

Olive  Branch,  Mississippi,  apportionment  was  310,500  and  subscribed  340,000  the  first 
day,     332,650  of  that  amount  was  sold  by  women. 


In  one  town  in  South  Dakota  the  unaccepted  allotment  cards  were  turned  over  to  the 
Woman's  Committee  and  they  returned  them  to  the  County  Committee  with  every  allotment 
accepted. 

Tacoma,  Washington,  built  a  hall  in  which  to  sell  Bonds.  Materials  were  furnished  free, 
and  organized  labor  built  the  whole  thing  in  one  day,  turning  it  over  with  the  lights  on  in  the 
evening.  Business  men  of  the  city  acted  as  waiters  at  the  meals  which  were  served  to  the 
laborers.  Woman  State  Chairman  was  given  the  privilege  of  naming  the  building,  which  she 
called  "Victory  Hall*"  In  Walla  Walla  a  similar  hall  was  built.  The  valuable  feature  of  this 
work  was  the  combining  of  all  elements  that  go  to  make  up  a  community,  and  bringing  them 
together  in  this  patriotic  effort. 

Glastonbury,  Connecticut,  reported  the  most  interested  and  active  worker  on  the  com- 
mittee was  a  woman  born  in  Germany. 

In  Pittsburgh,  Pennsylvania,  over  one  third  of  the  amount  subscribed  through  the  Woman's 
Committee  was  taken  in  the  house  to  house  canvass. 

Four  women  speakers  spent  ten  days  touring  south  Texas  counties,  all  of  which  failed  to 
make  their  quotas  in  First  and  Second  Loans,  most  of  which  oversubscribed  in  Third  Loan. 
They  spoke  from  an  automobile  on  the  public  square  in  three  or  four  towns  daily,  and  in  some 
places  also  addressed  afternoon  and  evening  meetings  in  halls.

In  Bardstown,  Kentucky,  the  Third  Liberty  Loan  Campaign  for  the  sale  of  Liberty  Bonds 
was  opened  on  April  6th  at  a  patriotic  rally  held  in  the  historic  old  Court  House.  Talented 
young  women  of  Bardstown  representing  England,  France,  Belgium  and  Italy  sang  the  national 
songs  of  these  Allies.  Their  performance  proved  to  be  such  a  success  that  they  subsequently 
toured  the  county  in  order  to  repeat  it. 

In  New  Mexico  three  counties  passed  their  quota  through  subscriptions  collected  by  the 
Woman's  Committee  alone.  One  county  made  six  times  its  quota  through  the  Woman's  Com- 
mittee. 

The  women  of  White  Pine  County,  Nevada,  with  a  population  of  13,500  sold  3554,850 
worth  of  Bonds,  making  the  subscription  41.10  per  cent,  placing  White  County  fourth  among 
the  counties  of  the  United  States  in  subscription  per  capita. 

********** 

In  a  small  town  in  Connecticut  a  meeting  was  arranged  by  the  teachers  and  committee 
at  which  the  children  furnished  the  singing  and  part  of  the  speaking.  At  this  meeting  33,000 
was  subscribed  from  this  particular  district  where  3500  was  set  as  the  maximum  quota.

One  precinct  Chairman  in  Wyoming,  covered  her  territory  on  horse-back  over  the  moun- 
tains in  blinding  snow  storms  in  order  to  sell  Liberty  Bonds. 

********** 

In  Colorado,  Kentucky,  and  other  states  with  vast  unsettled  district,  some  of  the  finest 
work  was  done  in  the  wilderness  counties,  where  women  traveled  on  horseback  for  many  miles, 
making  their  house  to  house  canvass,  doing  their  "speaking"  before  an  audience  of  one  or  two, 
in  lonely  mining  camps  or  remote  ranch  houses. 

********** 

Wilmington,  Delaware,  took  a  map  of  the  city  and  divided  into  wards  and  sections  of  wards. 
These  directions  were  written  out  on  cards  and  each  worker  had  a  card  and  knew  exactly  which 
side  of  the  street  she  had  to  canvass,  and  how  far  and  which  street.  They  drew  by  lot  the  part 
of  the  city  they  were  to  work  in.     They  had  small  districts  and  went  again  and  again. 

Headquarters  had  a  billboard  50  feet  long  on  which  was  marked  each  ward  and  division 
of  ward  with  captain's  name,  and  line  provided  for  each  day  all  across  billboard,  on  which  was 
entered  the  total  number  of  subscriptions  and  the  amount  of  subscriptions  received.  Meetings 
twice  a  week  in  the  first  three  weeks  of  campaign  and  three  times  the  last  week. 


In  Sullivan  County,  Indiana,  the  Chairman  advises  the  main  campaign  in  the  county  was 
that  of  the  women.  The  women  had  a  full  page  ad  in  the  daily  newspaper,  an  appeal 
to  the  SuUivan  women  to  buy  Bonds.  This  contained  the  names  of  eighteen  leading 
women  and  was  paid  for  by  them.  Had  another  full  page  ad  of  soldiers  starting  "over 
there."  This  ad  was  signed  by  fourteen  war  mothers  and  paid  for  by  them.  In  this  county 
the  town  of  Farmersburg  of  three  thousand  inhabitants  sold  330,000  worth  of  Bonds.  The 
women  sold  all  but  two  thousand  of  these  and  eight  women  did  all  this. 

A  special  Liberty  Loan  Honor  Flag  for  the  State  House  was  offered  to  the  Governor  of 
New  Hampshire  by  the  New  Hampshire  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee.  It  was  accepted 
by  him  and  presented  by  the  Chairman  of  the  Woman's  Committee,  at  the  State  House  at 
noon  on  May  9th,  1918.  By  courtesy  of  the  Chairman  of  the  New  Hampshire  Committee  of 
Public  Safety  this  presentation  was  made  before  a  large  gathering  of  people  assembled  for  a 
patriotic  mass  meeting  under  the  auspices  of  this  Committee  on  that  day. 

In  one  county  in  North  Carolina  the  women  received  credit  with  the  Men's  Committee 
for  all  Bonds  sold.  This  was  suggested  by  the  men,  who  suggested  they  would  take  charge 
of  the  publicity  if  the  women  would  sell  Bonds.    The  result  was  a  splendid  oversubscription.

In  Maricopa  County,  Arizona,  an  automobile  Flying  Squadron,  planned  and  organized 
I  by  the  Woman's  Committee,  was  sent  out  the  last  week  of  the  drive  through  the  rural  districts, 
assisting  the  different  communities  to  raise  their  quota.  The  Squadron  carried  musicians, 
speakers,  and  bond  salesmen,  telephoned  in  advance  the  hour  they  would  arrive  in  a  particular 
town.  They  then  held  a  meeting  and  made  a  thorough  canvass  of  the  town  in  a  short  time,  the 
subscriptions  obtained  being  credited  to  the  particular  community.  This  proved  very  effective 
and  many  communities  probably  would  not  have  attained  their  quota  without  this  assistance. 

********** 

In  Richmond,  Virginia,  fifty  organizations  of  women  joined  in  the  campaign.  The  City 
Chairman  secured  the  co-operation  of  all  these  organizations  by  approaching  the  president  of 
each  and  asking  her  to  present  the  plan  at  the  regular  monthly  meeting,  and  if  approved  to 
appomt  a  chairman  to  assist  her,  and  also  to  name  a  strong  working  committee  of  from  twelve 
to  eighteen  women. 

Merchants  of  leading  department  stores,  proprietors  of  the  best  hotels,  the  Postmaster 
and  others  were  asked  to  co-operate  by  allowing  the  women  to  have  booths  in  their  places  of 
business.  This  met  with  immediate  response.  Beautiful  booths  were  built  and  everything 
placed  at  their  disposal  by  these  men.  Several  meetings  were  held  before  the  campaign  opened 
and  at  the  last  meeting  the  head  of  each  organization  was  asked  to  draw  from  a  box  a  card  which 
stated  the  date,  and  at  which  booth  that  organization  should  start  to  sell,  thus  no  partiality 
was  shown  and  absolute  fairness  prevailed.  This  campaign  started  on  the  first  day  of  the  loan 
and  lasted  until  the  close.  Each  organization  sold  once  a  week,  progressing  from  booth  to 
booth,  up  and  down  streets,  like  an  old-time  "progressive  card  party." 

As  each  organization  entered  the  booth  the  president  took  a  general  interest  for  the  day 
and  under  her  was  a  chairman  and  a  committee  working  in  relays  of  two  hours  each.  Many 
Bonds  were  sold  to  the  passing  public  but  the  greatest  work  was  done  on  the  outside,  the  booth 
being  the  "goal"  to  which  to  bring  subscriptions.  Women  solicited  all  over  the  city,  and  a 
house  to  house  canvass  was  often  made.  The  Bonds  sold  were  credited  to  each  organization, 
and  a  keen  and  pleasing  rivalry  was  established.  At  the  close  of  the  Loan  9,135  subscriptions 
has  been  secured  amounting  to  33,317,150. 

In  Cincinnati,  where  house  to  house  canvassing  was  done  by  both  men  and  women,  almost 
the  total  subscription  was  taken  in  this  way. 

*********if 

In  Philadelphia,  Pennsylvania,  there  were  eighty  booths  in  the  city,  twenty-nine  of  which 
were  erected  at  the  expense  of  the  Woman's  Committee,  and  manned  by  various  women's  organ- 
izations, others  being  donated.  Women  managed  the  booths  in  parks,  street  corners,  hotels 
and  restaurants,  department  stores  and  theatres,  with  a  subscription  of  321,596,750.00. 

********** 

In  St.  Louis  a  monster  Liberty  Loan  parade,  with  speeches  by  the  Governor  of  the  State 
and  a  concert  by  the  Great  Lakes  Band.  A  sham  battleship  and  a  submarine,  so  real  that 
they  were  almost  startling,  were  christened  by  the  women  and  toured  the  streets.  They  were 
manned  by  women  and  men  who  solicited  Bonds  daily. 

An  heroic  Statue  of  Liberty  was  placed  on  12th  Street  and  unveiled  by  a  little  girl  at  a  large 
patriotic  rally.  The  foreign  born  population  had  a  parade  and  each  country  represented  placed 
a  memorial  wreath  at  the  feet  of  Liberty,  while  Bond  salesmen  circulated  through  the  crowd 
and  took  subscriptions  for  Liberty  Bonds. 

********** 

In  Wellesley,  Massachusetts,  the  publicity  committee  planned  an  evening  of  "Liberty 
Loan  Pictures"  posed  by  school  children  from  Liberty  Loan  posters  and  historic  scenes.  Every- 
body who  could  get  into  the  hall  came,  and  the  pictures,  the  little  talks  and  papers,  mostly  by 
children,  helped  along  the  sale  of  Liberty  Bonds  wonderfully  when  the  house  to  house  canvass 
was  made  by  the  Women's  Committee. 

********** 

In  Buffalo,  New  York,  the  entire  number  of  Bonds  was  taken  by  the  people,  and  the  banks 
were  not  called  upon  to  subscribe  for  any  of  the  Bonds.

In  Detroit,  Michigan,  all  voting  booths  were  used,  painted  white  and  decorated  with  flags 
and  bunting.     These  occupied  prominent  places  in  parks  and  at  street  intersections. 


The  following  Club  Plan  was  adopted  in  Chicago:  The  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee 
Chairman  appointed  a  Chairman  of  women's  organizations,  and  each  Club  President  appointed 
a  Liberty  Loan  Chairman  to  work  with  her.  The  Liberty  Loan  Chairman  in  turn  appointed 
Captains,  each  Captain  to  have  charge  of  twenty  club  members.  Each  Captain  was  to  buy 
a  Bond  herself  and  sell  a  Bond  to  each  Club  member.  The  members  in  turn  were  to  sell  Bonds 
to  the  members  of  their  families  or  at  least  use  their  influence  toward  the  sale  of  such  Bonds. 
There  are  about  30,000  members  of  Women's  Clubs  in  Chicago.  As  a  result  of  this  Club  Plan 
the  sum  of  36,126,550.00  was  raised  for  the  Third  Liberty  Loan. 


In  Washington  County,  Mississippi,  the  Chairman  arranged  a  mass  meeting  for  women 
and  advertised  this  meeting  by  means  of  a  telegram  which  reached  175  women  in  Greenville 
by  seven  o'clock  in  the  morning,  the  same  being  delivered  by  the  Boy  Scouts.  Some  of  them 
were  awakened  to  read  the  message.    The  result  was  a  large  attendance. 

The  State  Chairman  from  Connecticut  reports  that  the  sale  of  Bonds  from  a  Liberty  Cot- 
tage in  a  central  location  and  house  to  house  canvass  to  be  the  most  effective  methods  of  reach- 
ing the  people.  In  a  number  of  cities  in  this  state  these  cottages  have  been  built  largely  through 
the  efforts  of  the  women  chairmen. 

The  quota  for  Thornburgh  Borough,  Pennsylvania,  was  34,600.  In  this  District  361,650.00 
was  raised  by  the  Woman's  Committee,  and  the  town  received  the  Honor  Flag  with  twelve 
additional  stars. 

At  Louisville,  Kentucky,  the  opening  day  of  the  Loan  was  celebrated  by  a  woman's  parade. 
All  women  in  the  city  engaged  in  war  work  marched.  The  different  groups  carried  their  own 
banners  and  some  of  them  were  marked  by  special  uniforms.  There  were  no  men  in  the  line 
of  march,  which  formed  in  the  business  district  and  marched  through  the  main  part  of  the  town 
to  a  large  church  where  a  woman's  mass  meeting  was  held. 

In  Massachusetts  the  State  Chairman  applied  to  organizations  of  women  for  lists  of  speakers. 
These  lists  she  turned  over  to  the  Chairman  appointed  for  the  Speaker's  Bureau.  This  Chair- 
man called  these  speakers  together  for  a  meeting,  at  which  it  had  been  arranged  to  have  men 
speakers  to  instruct  the  women  speakers.  They  continued  to  hold  these  meetings  until  the 
drive  began.  There  were  about  forty  speakers  in  number  and  all  very  enthusiastic.  After 
several  weeks  of  these  meetings  the  Chairman  arranged  for  an  afternoon  of  trial  speeches,  about 
five  minutes  long,  which  proved  very  interesting  and  served  to  give  the  Chairman  of  the  Speaker's 
Bureau  a  clear  idea  of  the  ability  of  her  speakers. 


In  Tishomingo  County,  Mississippi,  the  joint  committee  of  men  and  women  made  a  special 
effort  to  reach  citizens  suspected  of  disloyalty.  They  arranged  a  meeting  in  one  of  the  larger 
towns  to  which  was  invited  by  letter  every  citizen  who  had  been  heard  to  make  a  remark  sug- 
gestive of  disloyalty,  and  when  they  came  to  the  meeting  they  were  called  upon  to  make  speeches. 
In  these  public  utterances,  their  patriotism  blossomed  like  the  rose  to  the  confusion  of  their 
erstwhile  followers  and  to  the  internal  satisfaction  of.  the  instigators  of  the  rally. 

The  Vermont  Woman's  Committee  secured  a  certain  Captain  Findley,  a  wounded  Cana- 
dian officer,  to  make  a  speaking  tour  of  the  state.  On  April  9th  he  spoke  at  a  small  town  of 
one  thousand  inhabitants  whose  quota  was  310,500.  He  had  an  audience  of  only  one  hundred 
people,  but  after  he  finished  speaking  in  fifteen  minutes,  310,900  was  subscribed.

Liberty  Loan  Lights — Concluded 

In  the  Fifth  Federal  Reserve  District  Mrs.  Seay  reports  that  in  an  endeavor  to  interest 
the  farmers  to  a  greater  extent  in  the  Loan  and  to  subscribe  more  liberally  to  Bonds,  she  started 
a  movement  to  attract  them.  Hundreds  of  canning  clubs  had  been  formed  in  many  counties 
of  the  different  states,  which  clubs  were  composed  of  wives  and  daughters  of  farmers.  Mrs. 
Seay  secured  from  the  Agricultural  Department  at  Washington  the  names  of  the  agents  in  the 
states  in  her  district  including  the  woman  in  charge  of  the  clubs  of  each  state,  which  lists  she 
furnished  to  each  of  her  state  chairmen,  urging  them  to  enlist  the  aid  of  county  chairmen  in 
trying  to  interest  these  women  and  get  them  on  their  committees,  have  them  addressed  by 
local  speakers,  etc.  This  was  done  and  it  was  the  unanimous  opinion  in  all  of  the  states  that 
splendid  results  were  obtained  from  this  movement. 

In  Illinois,  where  the  school  campaign  was  managed  by  the  Woman's  Committee,  310,- 
988,900  was  subscribed  through  the  schools,  of  which  38,957,400  was  subscribed  through  the 
schools  in  Cook  County,  with  85,140  subscribers. 


Seymour,  Connecticut,  reported  having  a  booth  mounted  on  a  truck,  v/hich  was  motored 
to  the  center  of  the  town  each  day,  a  bell  being  rung  to  draw  the  crowd. 

In  Phoenix,  Arizona,  the  women  organized  an  "I  Am  Earning  My  Bond"  Club,  by  which 
many  women  without  separate  incomes  and  whose  husbands  had  possibly  subscribed  liberally, 
pledged  themselves  to  buy  either  a  fifty  or  a  hundred  dollar  Bond,  paying  for  it  themselves, 
either  through  making  some  sacrifice  and  economizing  personally,  or  by  earning  the  amount 
themselves.  Many  and  various  schemes  for  earning  money  were  devised  and  much  interest 
was  stimulated  among  the  women  in  this  way. 

In  Pratt  County,  Kansas,  one  German  Lutheran  Church,  which  had  never  been  opened 
for  any  purpose  other  than  their  own  Church  services,  was  opened  to  the  Woman's  Committee 
for  a  mass  meeting  with  splendid  results.

Appendix 


TREASURER'S  REPORT  AND  RECOMMENDATIONS 
FOR  FOURTH  CAMPAIGN 

Before  the  beginning  of  the  Third  Liberty  Loan  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Com- 
mittee arranged  wich  the  Treasury  Department  for  the  financing  of  state  and  federal  reserve 
chairmen  in  field  work.  The  Treasury  allotted  to  the  use  of  the  Committee  money  for  the  prose- 
cution of  this  work.  By  this  arrangement  the  fiscal  relationship  of  the  committee  to  the  Treasury 
Department  became  twofold: 

First:  The  Treasury  makes  the  apportionment  of  allowances  for  the  federal  reserve  and  state 

chairmen  for  expenditure  in  the  loans. 
Second:  The  Auditor  of  the  Treasury  checks  up  the  accounts  of  the  expenditures  of  these 

allowances. 

In  the  Third  Liberty  Loan  an  arrangement  was  made  whereby  the  payment  of  bills  approved 
by  either  state  or  federal  reserve  chairmen  might  be  made  out  of  the  federal  reserve  banks,  since 
either  the  banks  or  the  Treasury  itself  must  be  the  disbursing  agents.  As  it  was  necessary  that 
the  Committee  have  some  check  upon  the  amounts  disbursed — since  it  is  the  agent  responsible 
to  the  Treasury — a  system  was  arranged  by  which  the  Treasurer  of  the  Committee  countersigned 
all  vouchers  before  their  payment  by  the  Federal  Reserve  banks.  This  system  however  had  the 
disadvantage  of  delaying  payment.  To  overcome  these  delays  and  yet  keep  a  check  upon  such 
disbursals  the  following  system  has  been  arranged  for  the  Fourth  Liberty  Loan. 

The  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  sets  in  the  twelve  federal  reserve  banks  of 
the  United  States,  allowances  to  cover  the  approved  budgets  of  federal  reserve  and  state  chairmen 
for  field  expenses.  The  Committee  has  authority  from  the  Treasury  to  make  an  arbitrary 
allowance  for  a  state  in  one  Federal  Reserve  Bank,  even  when  the  state  is  divided  between  two 
reserve  districts.  The  Federal  Reserve  Chairman  of  the  district  to  which  the  state  has  been 
assigned  becomes  the  approving  agent  for  the  payment  of  the  vouchers  presented  to  her  by  the 
state  chairmen  upon  their  approval. 

The  method  of  procedure  approved  by  the  Treasury  Department  for  payment  of  vouchers 
is  hereby  prescribed: 

1  Each  claim  for  payment  shall  be  submitted  in  the  name  of  the  county  chairman  or  other 
person  who  actually  advances  her  personal  funds  in  payment  of  traveling  or  other  expenses 
or  who  is  claiming  payment  for  services  rendered  or  supplies  furnished.  No  person  should 
attempt  to  reimburse  another  for  her  outlay  or  pay  her  for  services  rendered  or  supplies 
furnished,  unless  the  services  or  supplies  cannot  be  otherwise  procured.  This  would  per- 
mit payment  for  small  items  of  supplies  or  services  such  as  small  bills  for  telephone,  tele- 
graph, etc.,  or  where  the  person  will  not  wait  for  payment  in  the  regular  way,  but  original 
claims  should  be  submitted  by  the  original  claimant,  if  possible. 

2  Each  claim  shall  be  approved  by  the  county  chairman  or  other  person  who  procured  the 
supplies  or  service  and  be  forwarded  to  the  state  chairman. 

3  The  state  chairman,  after  examination  and  approval,  shall  forward  the  claim  to  the  Federal 
Reserve  chairman. 

4  The  Federal  reserve  chairman,  after  examination  and  approval,  as  to  form,  shall  forward 
the  claim  to  the  Federal  reserve  bank  for  payment. 

5  The  Federal  reserve  bank  shall  make  payments  by  check  and  mail  the  checks  direct  to  the 
claimants. 

The  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  issues  three  forms,  Form  W.  L.  L.  8, 
Special  Form  W.  L.  L.  A.,  and  Special  Form  W.  L.  L.  B. 

Form  W.  L.  L.  8  is  entitled  "Claim  for  Reimbursement  or  Direct  Payment."  It  must  accom- 
pany Special  Form  W.  L.  L.  A  and  Serial  Form  W.  L.  L.  B.  when  either  of  these  is  presented  for 
payment.     It  reads,  see  page  25. 

This  form  comes  in  four  parts,  one  white  original  and  three  blue-colored  duplicates.  The 
original  and  one  duplicate  is  to  be  sent  by  the  state  chairman,  upon  her  approval,  to  the  federal 
reserve  chairman  of  that  district  where  the  money  for  her  state  has  been  allotted  for  disbursal. 
Another  copy  is  to  be  sent  to  the  Treasurer  of  the  National  Woman'*  Liberty  Loan  Committee,

Treasurer's  Report  and  Recommendations  for  Fourth  Campaign — Continued 

Treasury  Department,  Washington,  D.  C.  A  fourth  copy  is  to  be  kept  by  the  state  chairman  for 
her  files.  These  claim  forms  must  in  all  cases  be  accompanied  by  the  necessary  sub-vouchers, 
bills,  receipted  bills,  authorizations,  etc.  Copies  of  said  sub'-vouchers  will  not  be  needed  with 
copies  of  the  claim  form.  If  the  state  chairman  has  already  paid  the  bills  presented  and  seeks 
reimbursement,  she  makes  herself  the  claimant,  presenting  her  receipts.  Otherwise,  she  makes 
the  creditor  the  claimant. 

Special  Form  W.  L.  L.  A.,  reads,  see  page  26. 

It  is  for  travel  expenses  only. 

Special  Form  W.  L.  L.  B  reads,  see  page  27. 

Special  Form  W.  L.  L.  B  is  designed  to  be  presented  for  the  payment  of  all  expenses  other 
than  travel  expenses  incurred  for  the  Loan  by  the  proper  offlcers. 

Only  those  officers  designated  by  state  or  federal  reserve  chanmen  have  authority  to  incur 
expenses. 

Limitation  of  character  of  expenses  is  made  by  a  circular  issued  by  the  Treasury  Department. 
In  the  Third  Loan  this  was  Circular  No.  103.  This  is  being  revised  for  the  Fourth  Loan.  It  may 
be  added  that  the  new  circular  does  not  contemplate  further  restrictions  than  those  incorporated 
in  Circular  103. 

The  Federal  Reserve  Banks,  who  act  as  disbursing  agents  for  the  National  Woman's  Liberty 
Loan  Committee,  make  payments  in  accordance  with  the  Treasury  regulations  contained  in  these 
orders.  The  Federal  Reserve  Chairmen,  therefore,  who  receive  the  vouchers  for  approval  from 
the  state  chairmen,  will  countersign  them  only  when  they  conform  to  these  regulations.  Should 
they  fail  to  do  so,  the  Federal  Reserve  Chairmen,  will  return  the  vouchers  to  the  state  chairmen 
for  correction.  The  state  chairmen  will  return  the  corrected  voucher  to  the  Federal  Reserve 
chairmen,  stating  that  it  is  a  corrected  voucher,  and  at  the  same  time  send  the  copies  of  such  cor- 
rections to  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee. 

In  order  to  secure  exemption  from  war  tax  on  government  business,  county  chairmen  are 
requested  to  apply  to  their  state  chairmen  for  exemption  certificates.  These  war  tax  exemption 
blanks  will  be  furnished  state  chairmen  on  request  to  the  Fiscal  Agent,  National  Woman's  Liberty 
Loan  Committee,  Treasury  Department,  Washington  .D.  C. 


PRINTING  AND  DISTRIBUTION  IN  THE  FOURTH  LOAN 

The  entire  system  of  printing  and  distribution  for  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan 
Committee  has  been  reorganized  for  the  fourth  campaign.  It  was  decided  by  the  Executive 
Committee  to  have  all  printing  for  the  national  campaign  done  in  Chicago,  which  provides  ample 
facilities  for  prompt  service,  and  which  is  a  much  better  distribution  center  than  Washington 
because  of  its  central  location.  Mrs.  Bass  was  authorized  by  the  Treasury  Department  to  open  a 
Chicago  office  to  carry  on  this  work,  with  Miss  Stephens  as  her  assistant.  Estimates  on  the 
quantity  of  all  items  of  stationery  and  literature  which  it  is  proposed  to  issue  have  been  received 
from  the  Federal  Reserve  and  State  Chairmen,  and  it  is  believed  that  the  new  arrangement  will 
prove  satisfactory  in  every  way.  All  shipments  are  made  by  express  on  Government  Bill  of  Lad- 
ing, and  the  Record  of  Shipment  blank  which  is  filled  out  in  duplicate  by  the  manufacturing  firm, 
one  copy  going  to  the  State  Chairman  and  the  other  to  the  Chicago  office,  provides  an  accurate 
check  on  shipment  of  material  and  receipt  of  same  by  the  State  Chairman.

SCHEME  OF  PUBLICITY  ORGANIZATION  FOR  THE  WOMAN'S  LIBERTY 

LOAN  COMMITTEE 

Publicity  Director,  State  Publicity  Chairman,  County  Publicity  Chairman,  Local  Pub- 
licity Chairman;  in  each  instance  working  in  co-operation  with  and  responsible  to  the  person 
by  whom  she  is  appointed. 


'!  Publicity  Director:  Appointed  by  Fed- 
j  eral  Reserve  Chairman.  Responsible 
.  for  publication  of  District  returns  and 
I  stories  and  promulgation  of  National 
Publicity. 


State  Publicity  Chairman:  Appointed 
by  State  Chairman.  Responsible  for 
publication  of  State  Returns  and 
stories  and  daily  reports  by  night 
letter  to  Publicity  Director. 


The  Federal  Reserve  Chairman  of  the  Woman's 
Liberty  Loan  Committee  may  appoint  a  Publicity 
Director  who  should  furnish  for  the  Sunday  issue 
of  the  big  dailies  a  story  giving  the  returns  by 
states  of  the  women's  activities.  In  this  way 
rivalry  among  the  states  will  be  awakened  and 
enthusiasm  greatly  stimulated. 

The  State  Chairman  of  the  Woman's  Liberty  Loan 
Committee  should  appoint  a  State  Publicity 
Chairman,  preferably  a  woman  of  some  experience 
in  newspaper  work,  whose  duty  it  should  be  to 
prepare  a  special  story  from  the  county  reports 
for  the  Sunday  issue  of  each  big  daily  in  her  state. 
This  copy  must  be  sent  in  by  Thursday  or  Friday, 
though  if  it  contains  vital  news  it  will  usually  be 
accepted  as  late  as  Saturday.  First  page  space 
for  a  list  of  the  amount  of  subscriptions  secured 
by  the  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  in  each 
county  should  be  obtained  if  possible.  This  list 
should  give  the  name  of  the  county,  the  name  of 
the  Chairman,  and  the  amount  secured,  the  largest 
subscription  heading  the  list,  the  other  counties 
following  in  order  of  amounts.  Request  that  the 
words,  "Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee"  be 
played  up  in  headlines.  A  personal  interview 
with  the  editor,  tactfully  conducted,  will  secure 
many  favors.  Promptness,  brevity  and  accuracy 
are  essential  in  all  newspaper  stories. 

The  County  Chairman  of  the  Woman's  Liberty  Loan 
Committee  should  appoint  a  County  Publicity 
Chairman  whose  duty  it  should  be  to  get  a  good 
Woman's  Liberty  Loan  story  in  each  issue  of  the 
county  papers.  This  story  should  contain  some 
report  of  the  women's  work  in  each  local  subdi- 
vision of  the  counties. 

Each  County  Subdivision  (or"  Civil  District)  Chair- 
man for  the  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee 
should  appoint  a  local  Publicity  Chairman  whose 
duty  it  should  be  to  see  that  reports  of  the  women's 
work  reach  the  County  Publicity  Chairman  in 
time  for  publication.  Wherever  practicable,  this 
report  should  be  transmitted  by  telephone  or 
night  letter.  This  publicity  should  awaken  local 
pride  in  all  county  Districts  and  the  effort  to 
report  in  time  for  the  press  will  speed  up  the  work 
and  greatly  assist  the  State  Chairmen  in  securing 
prompt  records  for  the  Federal  Reserve  Chair- 
men and  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan 
Committee. 

The  various  Publicity  Chairmen  should  recognize  the  value  and  necessity  of  spectacular 
publicity  which  can  be  used  for  educational  purposes.

Report  of  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee 


TAKEN  FROM  THE  REPORT  OF  THE  SECRETARY  OF  THE  TREASURY 
FOR  THE  YEAR  1918 

The  National  Woman* s  Liberty  Loan  Committee 

One  of  the  most  notable  factors  in  the  success  of  the  Liberty  loans  has  been  the  work  of  the 
women  of  the  United  States.  It  was  with  the  belief  that  the  women  of  the  Nation  would  con- 
stitute a  powerful  moral  force  in  war  finance  that  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Com- 
mittee was  appointed  by  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  in  May,  1917.  That  they,  working 
through  the  organization  effected  by  this  agency,  have  not  only  accomplished  this  purpose  but 
have  also  become  an  essential  element  in  the  actual  labors  of  promoting  the  loans  constitutes 
one  of  the  most  interesting  chapters  in  the  financing  of  the  war.  There  is  probably  no  war  service 
in  which  so  many  women  have  taken  more  active  part  than  in  the  raising  of  money  to  pay  our 
war  burden.  To  their  energy,  their  enthusiasm,  their  zeal,  and  their  vision  is  due  a  great  part 
of  the  success  of  the  Liberty  loans. 

When  the  United  States  went  into  war  with  Germany  the  business  of  bond  selling  was  a 
field  so  new  to  women  that  all  work  within  it  has  been  genuine  pioneering.  The  organization 
of  women  for  the  task  has  been  the  work  of  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee, 
which  has  served  in  co-operation  with  the  Treasury's  war-loan  organization.  The  members  of 
this  committee,  serving  as  volunteers,  have  performed  the  work  of  enlisting  more  than  a  half 
million  women  as  sellers  of  Liberty  bonds. 

The  first  labors  of  the  members  of  the  committee,  after  the  closing  of  the  first  Liberty  loan 
where  their  work  had  been  general  publicity  of  war  finance  among  women,  were  concerned  with 
the  adjustment  of  established  organizations  of  women  throughout  the  country  to  the  established 
machinery  for  the  raising  of  the  loans.  Where  organization  existed,  the  women  of  the  Nation 
were  organized  by  States,  while  the  Treasury's  loan  organization  was  based  upon  the  twelve 
fiscal  divisions  of  the  United  States.  It  was  the  problem  of  the  committee  to  correlate  the  two 
schemes  of  organization.  They  solved  it  by  the  appointment  of  both  State  and  Federal  Reserve 
chairmen,  the  former  responsible  for  actual  organization  of  women  in  their  respective  States, 
the  latter  serving  as  the  representatives  of  the  women  in  dealing  with  the  Liberty  loan  committees 
of  the  respective  Federal  reserve  districts.  Liberty  loan  committees  elected  the  women  Federal 
reserve  chairmen  members  of  their  executive  committees. 

In  this  organization  during  the  second  Liberty  loan  60,000  women  became  sellers  of  bonds. 
Reports  of  the  women  State  chairmen,  and  of  the  executive  committees  of  the  Federal  reserve 
districts,  indicate  that  the  woman's  organization  obtained  subscriptions  for  31,000,000,000  of 
the  second  loan.  In  the  third  loan  500,000  women  were  enrolled  as  members  of  the  organization, 
which  had  a  woman  chairman  in  almost  every  county  of  the  United  States  and  township  officers 
in  almost  every  township.  In  the  third  loan  the  women  were  again  credited  with  having  been 
the  selling  agents  of  more  than  a  billion  dollars  in  bonds.  In  the  fourth  loan  between  seven  and 
eight  hundred  thousand  women  served,  but  it  is  not  possible  at  this  time  to  make  an  estimate 
of  the  amount  of  bond  sales  attributable  to  the  woman's  organzation. 

No  mere  recital  of  results  achieved  can  show  the  extent  of  the  service  which  women  have 
given  to  the  Nation  through  their  participation  in  war  finance.    That  hundreds  of  thousands 
of  women  assumed  the  burden  of  a  new  kind  of  labor,  not  for  themseves  but  for  their  country,  i 
is  one  of  the  most  striking  and  characteristic  facts  in  relation  to  the  women  of  America  that  the  i 
war  has  developed.    The  Liberty  loans  have  afforded  a  new  proving  ground  where  the  women 
of  the  Nation  have  accepted  the  opportunity  to  demostrate  again  their  patriotism,  their  ability 
their  consciousness  of  the  obligations  of  citizenship,  and  their  steadfastness  of  soul  in  the  great ' 
and  terrible  crisis  which  our  country  has  met. 

JVhat  American  Women  Have  Done  for 
the  Liberty  Loans 

By  William  G.  McAdoo,  Secretary  of  the  Treasury 

The  women  of  America  have  demonstrated  extraordinary  power  and  capacity  in  connection  | 

with  the  financial  operations  of  the  Government.    Their  work  has  been  of  the  highest  value,  i 

The  National  Wom.an's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  has  brought  into  existence  an  organization 

of  women  throughout  the  country  which  is  one  of  the  most  important  factors  in  the  success  of  | 

Liberty  Loans. 

I  am  deeply  grateful  for  the  splendid  support  American  women  have  given  to  the  Treasury  | 
and  to  all  war  activities.  The  increasing  demands  of  the  war  will  make  their  work  more  and| 
more  important.  Their  continued  enthusiastic  and  spirited  co-operation  strengthens  myi 
confidence  in  the  success  of  the  Treasury's  future  financial  undertakings.

Died  October  26th,  1918 


THE  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  has  sustained  a  great  and 
lasting  loss  in  the  death  of  a  valued  member,  Mrs.  Ella  Flagg  Young. 
Mrs.  Young  was  a  woman  of  distinguished  reputation  for  a  lifetime  of  im- 
portant public  service,  of  an  age  when  she  might,  with  honor,  have  allowed  war 
work  to  proceed  without  her,  yet,  when  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  appointed  her 
a  member  of  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  she  responded  with 
enthusiasm. 

Her  contribution  to  this  work  was  mainly  through  the  channels  of  Loan  publicity. 
She  made  the  United  States  Treasury  her  office,  and  the  service  she  rendered,  although 
necessarily  anonymous,  is  written  into  practically  every  important  piece  of  literature 
sent  out  during  the  war,  and  into  the  various  pubUc  documents  of  the  secretaries. 

When  the  necessity  arose  for  members  of  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan 
Committee  to  go  about  the  country  on  speaking  tours,  and  to  attend  Liberty 
Loan  State  Conferences,  Mrs.  Young  made  no  plea  of  disability  or  age.  In  the 
Fourth  Campaign  she  undertook  the  severe  strain  of  a  far  Western  circuit,  where, 
owing  to  the  epidemic,  mass  meetings  were  largely  held  out  of  doors.  In  October, 
in  Idaho,  she  filled  the  last  engagement  of  this  kind,  although  at  the  time  she  her- 
self was  suffering  from  the  influenza.  Pneumonia  followed,  and  in  Washington, 
on  October  26th,  Ella  Flagg  Young  died,  as  truly  an  offering  on  the  altar  of  her 
country  as  any  youth  who  gave  his  life  in  France. 

She  was  buried  in  Chicago,  and  at  the  request  of  Secretary  McAdoo,  the  Treasury 
Department  was  officially  represented  at  her  funeral. 

To  the  country  at  large  Mrs.  Young  stood  for  all  that  was  fine  and  progressive 
in  modern  life;  to  the  members  of  the  Committee  with  whom  she  worked  during 
the  last  eighteen  months  of  her  life  she  came  to  mean  this,  and  something  much  more 
intimate.  None  of  them  will  ever  forget  her  caustic  wit,  her  clear-sighted  grasp 
of  the  essential,  and  her  kindly  understanding  of  human  nature;  in  their  work  in 
preparation  for  the  coming  Campaign  they  will  miss  the  stimulus  of  her  companion- 
ship, and  the  advantage  of  her  wise  council. 


The  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  regrets  that  owing  to  the  cost  of  paper 
nd  printing,  it  is  impossible  to  list  every  woman  enrolled  on  County,  City  or  Township  Com- 
littees  in  the  United  States.  The  National  Committee  appreciates  that  the  marvelous  success 
ttending  the  work  of  the  Woman's  Committee  is  largely  due  to  the  loyalty  and  perseverance  of 
lese  unmentioned  women,  and  that  it  is  impossible  to  over-praise  their  devoted  efforts. 

It  has  been  told  of  Gladstone,  that  while  he  was  Chancellor  of  Exchequer,  he  became  so 
ffected  on  reading  to  Parliament  a  report  consisting  entirely  of  figures,  that  tears  were  seen  to  be 
.reaming  down  his  face.  The  figures  were  no  longer  mere  figures  to  him,  because  he  knew  they 
^presented  the  self-sacrifice  of  a  nation,  and  thus  became  symbols  of  patriotism  and  devotion. 

The  figures  representing  the  work  of  the  women  of  the  United  States  for  the  Fourth  Liberty 
oan  contain  a  similar  appeal.  This  work  was  done  at  a  time  when  many  households  were  facing 
Iness  and  death  from  the  epidemic  of  influenza.  Many  of  our  workers  were  actively  engaged 
I  nursing.  More  women  than  ever  before  were  doing  their  own  house  work.  The  casualty  Usts 
cm  Europe  struck  home  to  the  hearts  of  many  of  our  chairmen.  Financial  returns  are  astonish- 
igly  gratifying,  but  the  real  contribution  of  our  women  goes  too  deep  to  be  expressed  in  the 
umber  or  the  value  of  the  Bonds  sold,  for  the  burden  was  borne  by  saddened  hearts  as  well  as 
eary  shoulders.  Thus,  through  sacrifice  have  the  women  working  for  the  success  of  the  Liberty 
oans  won  the  right  to  share  in  welcoming  the  peace  which  is  to  bless  a  War  Weary  World.

Note:        Fourth  Liberty  Loan  Financial  Report 

The  recording  of  the  amount  of  subscriptions  taken  by  the  Women's  committees  in  the 
various  states  becomes  in  each  campaign  an  increasingly  complicated  matter  as  the  idiosyn- 
crasies of  different  localities  emphasize  themselves. 

In  the  following  report  of  the  Fourth  Campaign  those  states  are  indicated  where  no  cor- 
poration subscriptions  were  taken  by  the  Woman's  Committee,  as  this  division  of  the  field 
necessarily  limits  the  amount  of  money  possible  for  the  women  to  raise.  States  where  the 
Voluntary  Subscription  or  Allotment  Plans  are  adopted  are  also  indicated.  Throughout  the 
Middle  West  these  plans  have  been  followed  sometimes  by  an  entire  state  and  sometimes  by 
sporadic  counties. 
Voluntary  Subscription  Plan: 

In  counties  organized  under  this  plan  all  bonds  sold  are  disposed  of  in  the  early  days  of 
the  drive,  generally  on  the  first  or  second  day.  Intensive  organization  and  propaganda  are 
employed  for  a  fortnight  beforehand,  both  men  and  women  taking  part  in  this  work.  When 
the  sale  begins  booths  are  opened  at  stated  places  where  the  people  of  the  county  may  come  to 
make  their  Voluntary  Subscription,  and  no  bonds  are  sold  by  solicitation. 
Individual  Allotment  Plan: 

In  counties  organized  under  this  plan  a  Committee  is  formed  which  determines  the  amount 
of  money  to  be  subscribed  to  Liberty  Bonds  by  each  resident  of  the  county.  Cards  are  dis- 
tributed asking  for  individual  information  on  size  of  income,  amount  subscribed  to  other  loans 
indebtedness,  financial  obligations,  etc.  When  this  information  is  compiled,  notices  are  sent 
out  informing  each  resident  of  the  county  the  amount  he  is  expected  to  subscribe  in  the  coming 
issue.  He  is  given  an  opportunity  to  protest  this  amount  if  it  seems  to  him  unfair.  There  is  a 
large  amount  of  clerical  work  in  connection  with  this  method  of  selling  the  Liberty  Loan,  which 
women  and  men  share:  in  those  states  following  this  plan  no  Bonds  are  sold  by  solicitation. 

As  no  Bonds  are  sold  by  solicitation  under  either  of  the  above  methods,  it  is,  of  course, 
impossible  for  the  Woman's  committee  to  make  a  financial  report  on  Bonds  sold  through  it. 
In  the  Seventh  and  Eighth  Districts  the  Liberty  Loan  Committee  of  the  Federal  Reserve  Bank 
requested  that  in  counties  where  either  of  these  plans  were  in  operation  the  women  report  as 
their  share  fifty  per  cent  of  the  amount  raised.  In  the  Ninth  District  the  Liberty  Loan  Com- 
mittee of  the  Federal  Reserve  Bank  asked  the  women  to  report  twenty-five  per  cent  as  their 
share.   In  the  Twelfth  District  fifty  per  cent  was  allowed  and  in  the  Tenth  District  fifty  per  cent. 

In  the  entire  Ninth  District  and  the  state  of  Iowa  the  women's  committees  have  reported  as 
above.  Where  a  state  is  not  organized  uniformly,  and  sporadic  counties  follow  either  of  these 
plans,  a  separate  record  has  been  kept  for  them,  the  other  counties  reporting  as  before  on  the 
amount  of  subscriptions  secured  through  the  women's  committees. 

In  some  cases  especial  mention  has  been  made  of  the  influenza  epidemic,  and  the  havoc 
it  wrought  in  campaign  plans.  It  should  be  remembered,  in  reading  the  following  report, 
that  this  scourge  was  general,  no  state  was  free  from  its  ravages  during  the  Fourth  Liberty  Loan 
Campaign. 

Another  statement  which  is  included  in  the  report  of  practically  every  State  Chairman  is 
that  the  relations  between  the  men's  and  women's  committees,  in  the  beginning  of  the  war  so 
often  bewildering,  and  sometimes  irritating,  were,  in  the  Fourth  Campaign,  of  a  most  satisfactory 
nature.  These  two  committees  in  the  same  field  have  proved  that  complete  co-operation  between 
men  and  women  may  be  both  harmonious  and  helpful,  and  either  one  would  be  loath  to  dispense 
with  the  services  of  the  other.  The  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee,  rejoicing  in 
this  happy  state  of  affairs,  realizes  that  it  is  in  a  large  measure  due  to  the  tact  and  efficiency  of 


Report  of  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee       5 

its  Federal  Reserve  Chairmen,  who  represent  the  State  Chairmen  at  the  Federal  Reserve  Bank 
Liberty  Loan  Committee  meetings. 

An  important  development  of  the  woman's  campaign  was  an  emphasis  placed  on  Thrift  and 
Economy.  In  every  state  this  appeal  was  made  through  the  Woman's  Committee,  and  in 
several  a  carefully  planned  savings  campaign  was  conducted.  In  the  five  New  England  states 
Tithing  Boxes  were  distributed  in  the  shape  of  cardboard  banks,  in  which  to  collect  coins  for 
the  first  payment  on  a  bond;  this  proved  a  successful  activity,  as  large  numbers  of  boxes  were 
turned  in. 

In  many  states  the  Woman's  Committee  determined  upon  a  musical  campaign,  through 
community  singing,  etc.  Although  the  epidemic  interfered,  this  form  of  emotional  appeal  was 
found  most  successful.  J.  A.  F.

The  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  in  France  practically  limited  its  efforts  to  selling 
Bonds  to  American  women  in  France.    No  eifort  was  made  to  perfect  an  organization:  the  Bonds 
were  sold  through  personal  solicitation  of  the  chairman.

'Cleanings  from  the  Campaign: 

Mrs  Jacobs  tells  one  of  the  most  inspiring  stories  of  the  soldier  quality  of  the  women  who 
ire  working  for  the  United  States  in  the  Liberty  Loans.  "Two  women  from  one  of  the  back 
voods  counties  of  Alabama  came  to  the  state  conference.  They  could  not  read  or  write,  but 
vithin  their  souls  burned  the  fire  of  patriotism.  'There's  a  girl  in  our  county  who  can  read  and 
vrite  for  us,'  they  told  Mrs.  Jacobs,  *but  she  don't  know  people  the  way  we  do.  Give  us  the  county 
jetween  us,'  and  we'll  carry  it  over  the  top.  And  although  Alabama  was  in  the  throes  of  the 
jpidemic  and  their  county  suffered  as  much  as  any  other,  the  two  of  them  carried  out  their 
)romise." 

At  the  close  of  the  first  week  of  the  Campaign  all  meetings  were  discontinued  on  account  of 
he  epidemic,  and  the  Woman's  Committee  compiled  and  had  painted  several  "Voiceless  Speeches" 
vhich  were  turned  in  windows  and  kept  Liberty  Bonds  before  the  public. 

One  feature  especially  noted  was  the  response  of  the  Negro  women  of  the  state.  Reports 
eached  headquarters  from  almost  every  county  telling  the  same  story  of  patriotic  response. 
Attention  is  particularly  called  to  the  results  of  the  house-to-house  canvass  of  the  negro  women

The  women  of  Arkansas  placed  great  stress  on  house-to-house  canvass  in  cities,  towns  and 

in  rural  districts,  thus  reaching  many  small  subscribers.    In  the  cities  booths  were  also  kept  open. 
A  majority  of  counties  placed  majority  of  subscriptions  on  stated  Volunteer  days.     In 

Arkansas  the  Woman's  Committee  took  no  credit  for  money  so  subscribed.

The  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  had  a  complete  precinct  organization  in  this  city. 
A  preparatory  survey,  of  the  precincts  had  been  made  and  lists  of  the  residents  made  out  with 
other  information  so  that,  as  the  sales  were  made,  the  Woman  chairman  could  check  up  and 
know  that  all  had  been  reached.  There  was  a  Precinct  Headquarters  in  each  Precinct  where  a 
list  was  kept  and  where  each  day  the  reports  were  handed  in  and  from  which  at  stated  times 
reports  were  sent  to  County  Headquarters  of  the  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee.  There 
was  an  Industrial  Committee  to  canvass  all  business  houses,  manufacturing  establishrnents  and 
an  area  in  the  city  where  there  are  few  or  no  residences.  The  Woman's  Committee  insisted  that 
all  Bonds  sold  either  by  this  committee  or  any  other  committee,  or  the  Banks,  should  be  reported 
back  to  precincts.  The  Precinct  chairman  spent  a  part  of  each  day  at  the  Headquarters,  her 
Vice-Chairman  or  secretary  representing  her  when  she  was  not  there.  The  official  collectors 
from  the  Banking  Committee  visited  these  precincts  daily  to  collect  the  money  and  checks  and

applications.  Many  of  these  Precinct  Headquarters  were  very  attractive;  all  had  the  same  sign — 
a  white  card  with  red  border  and  blue  lettering  giving  number  and  name  of  precinct.  There  was 
always  a  display  of  banners,  and  all  very  official  looking.  This  splendid  organization  proved 
very  fortunate  when  the  influenza  epidemic  struck.  "The  Liberty  Loan  organization  was  in  a 
panic  but  the  Woman's  Liberty  Army  went  over  the  last  trench  and  drove  every  thing  before  them." 
Gleanings  from  the  Campaign: 

At  Palm  Springs,  a  small  health  resort  on  the  edge  of  the  desert  in  Riverside  County,  the 
quota  was  3800.    The  Chairman  of  the  Woman's  Committee  sold  38000 — ten  times  the  quota. 

In  Del  Norte  County,  the  quota,  374,000,  3117,250  was  subscribed.  Every  Bond  sold 
in  this  county  was  sold  by  women. 

In  Sacramento  the  women  accepted  3100,000  as  their  quota.  They  actually  raised  32,859,730.

f-  The  Bonds  sold  by  the  Woman's  Committee  in  Denver  were  sold  entirely  in  a  house-to-house 
canvass  in  residential  districts,  which  was  the  only  campaigning  possible  on  account  of  the 
influenza  epidemic. 

Number  of  subscriptions  through  Woman's  Committee  in  state 53,353 

Gleanings  from  the  Campaign: 

One  worker  in  Routt  County,  discovered  on  the  last  day  of  the  drive  that  her  town  was  far 
from  the  top,  because  of  the  inability  of  ranchmen  to  leave  the  fields.  Sh,e  harnessed  a  team  and 
scoured  the  country,  stopping  wherever  she  saw  a  man  at  work.  She  secured  enough  Bonds  to 
put  her  community  well  "over  the  top." 

A  Recognition  Banner  was  awarded  by  the  Woman's  State  Committee  to  the  womeji  of 
Baca  County  for  securing  the  highest  percentage  of  gain  over  the  subscriptions  turned  in  during 
the  Third  Campaign.    These  women  raised  twelve  times  the  amount  they  did  before. 

In  Rio  Grande  County,  potatoes  are  an  important  factor  in  Bond  buying.  To  release  men 
for  work  in  the  fields,  the  women  conducted  the  entire  campaign.  Besides  selling  Bonds,  many 
women  helped  out  also  in  the  fields.  One  woman  captain  did  her  work  in  the  time  left  from 
cooking  for  13  men  and  milking  16  cows.    Their  quota  was  met  early  in  the  drive.

Gleanings  from  the  Campaign: 

The  Woman's  Committee  of  Meriden,  reported  that  women  from  eighty  church  and  fraternal 
societies  did  the  major  part  of  the  Bond  selling  for  their  committee.  Street  gatherings  were  held 
nightly,  with  moving  pictures,  music  and  speeches.  The  amount  secured  by  them  was  almost 
half  the  city's  allotment. 

The  New  Haven  Committee  gave  a  "Two  Block  Party"  with  marked  success.  Two  city 
blocks  were  roped  off.  The  asphalt  was  washed  spotless,  streamers  of  electric  lights  made  a 
canopy  overhead,  and  a  band  played  for  dancing.  While  the  participants  were  resting  on  benches 
— at  ten  cents  a  seat, — speeches  were  made  urging  the  purchase  of  Bonds.

The  Committee  of  Lebanon,  reported  that  two  of  their  number  visited  one  farmer  who  had 
not  subscribed  to  the  three  previous  loans.  While  talking  with  him  about  the  necessity  of  every- 
one helping  the  Government,  they  helped  him  husk  his  corn,  and  were  rewarded  with  a  pledge. 

Bristol,  invented  the  "Cheer  Up"  post  card.  Each  person  buying  a  Bond  was  given  a  card 
to  send  to  a  Bristol  soldier  "over  there." 

Colchester  made  the  visit  of  the  War  Relic  Train  a  special  occasion;  the  entire  population 
of  the  town,  with  flags,  band  and  State  Guard,  formed  on  the  green  and  marched  to  the  train. 
The  town  of  Brooklyn  reported  having  a  Liberty  tent  in  the  shadow  of  the  spire  of  the  old  church 
on  the  village  green,  where  Israel  Putnam  used  to  worship. 

On  Columbus  Day,  the  West  Hartford  Committee  staged  a  French  Market  on  the  grounds 
of  the  chairman  of  the  Liberty  Loan  Committee  of  that  town.  Announcement  was  made  that 
everything  would  be  sold  from  a  pin  to  a  pig,  which  proved  literally  true,  the  proceeds  of  the  sale 
tobeinvested  in  Bonds  to  help  the  city  meet  its  quota  in  the  coming  United  War  Service  Campaign. 
At  the  Liberty  Loan  Booth,  Bonds  to  the  amount  of  352,650  were  sold. 

The  personnel  of  working  committees  was  largely  recruited  from  organizations  of  women; 
in  12  towns  these  women  raised  the  entire  quota.

Gleanings  from  the  Campaign: 

The  Woman's  Committee  at  Dover  unfurled  on  the  State  House  the  Honor  Flag  of  the 
previous  loan.  As  it  went  up  hundreds  of  little  cards  bearing  the  words  "Buy  Bonds"  rained 
from  its  folds. 

The  Woman's  Committee  had  perfected  plans  for  an  elaborate  campaign  of  song  and  spec- 
tacular features.  They  went  over  the  top  on  excellent  newspaper  publicity  and  posters.  Del- 
aware was  hard  hit  by  the  epidemic,  yet  towns  with  one-fourth  of  their  population  smitten 
went  over  the  top 

In  Wilmington  no  meetings,  even  of  team  captains,  were  allowed — and  no  canvass.  Many 
Liberty  Loan  women  were  ill,  there  was  a  shortage  of  nurses  and  doctors,  and  the  dead  lay 
unburied,  yet  the  Woman's  Committee  of  Wilmington  reports  36,000,000. 

Down  near  Port  Penn,  where  the  Government  was  engaged  in  erecting  a  big  munition 
plant,  two  New  Castle  County  canvassers  stopped  a  farmer,  working  in  a  field,  and  asked  him 
to  buy  a  Bond.  No,  he  wouldn't  buy  a  Bond,  he  had  no  money  for  a  wasteful  government; 
he  saw  enough  of  the  way  things  were  going  at  Port  Penn,  and  none  of  his  money  was  going 
that  way,  and  anyhow  he  couldn't  buy  a  Bond  because  his  wife  had  been  sick  all  summer,  and 
the  colored  woman  in  the  kitchen  had  wasted  everything.  "There!"  exclaimed  the  canvasser, 
"You  and  all  your  family  were  in  the  house  with  that  woman,  all  of  you  watching  her,  and  you 
couldn't  prevent  waste.  Now  how  do  you  expect  Uncle  Sam  at  a  time  like  this  to  be  every- 
where and  see  everything  at  once.''  There's  bound  to  be  something  go  a  little  wrong."  The 
farmer  bought  a  Bond 

One  Kent  County  farmer  bought  bonds  as  his  enthusiasm  mounted.  He  was  not  at  all 
pleased  with  the  Loan,  but  as  a  kind  of  duty  and  rather  grudgingly,  he  took  a  three  hundred 
dollar  Bond.  He  went  to  a  Liberty  Loan  meeting  and  got  so  stirred  that  he  bought  another 
four  hundred  dollars  worth,  and  told  a  member  of  the  committee  that  he  had  put  every  cent 
he  had  in  Bonds,  but  that  if  the  district  didn't  go  over  the  top  to  let  him  know.  "But  how  can 
you  do  more  if  you  have  no  more  money?"  the  woman  asked,  "Well,  if  it  comes  to  that,  Ma'am, 
I  can  sell  a  hoss."

The  Woman's  Committee  planned  a  parade  for  October  5th,  Women  in  War  Work  Day, 
which  had  to  be  called  off  on  account  of  the  influenza  epidemic;  also  all  meetings  had  to  be  sus- 
pended, and  as  the  days  went  on  and  the  influenza  grew  worse  every  plan  of  the  committee

had  to  be  abandoned.  The  women,  however,  manned  the  booths  at  the  hotels,  department 
stores,  and  the  Union  Station,  securing  3604,400  worth  of  subscriptions  through  this  source. 
One  of  the  plans  of  the  Woman's  Committee,  which,  too,  had  to  be  abandoned,  was  to  have 
each  child  in  the  public  schools  take  home  a  pledge  <iard  to  its  own  home  and  try  and  secure  a 
pledge  for  a  Bond  from  a  member  of  the  child's  own  family.  This  would  have  reached  approx- 
imately 50,000  homes  in  the  city,  and  at  the  same  time  would  have  kept  the  children  from 
soliciting  on  the  streets.

In  one  county  two  men  approached  the  chairman  of  the  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee 

and  asked  to  be  enrolled  as  members  as  they  liked  the  business-like  manner  in  which  the  work 

was  conducted  by  the  women.    One  of  the  men  was  a  banker. 

In  Gadsden  County,  which  was  particularly  stricken  by  the  epidemic,  the  woman  chairman 

took  soup  to  a  home,  the  entire  household  being  ill  with  the  exception  of  the  mother,  who  came 

to  the  door  with  a  bowl  to  receive  the  soup,  and  her  husband's  check  for  35,000  for  a  Bond. 
At  meetings  arranged  by  the  Woman's  Committee,  Haines  City  subscribed  over  its  quota, 

and  St.  Petersburg  subscribed  at  its  meeting  3225,000,  the  most  ever  raised  in  any  one  public

Mrs.  Fitzpatrick  wired  to  one  of  her  county  chairmen  regarding  Four  Minute  Speakers. 

It  was  taken  as  "Spankers"  by  the  telegraph  operator.    The  county  at  once  adopted  "Four 

Minute  Spankers"  instead  of  Four  Minute  Speakers.    The  chairman  advises  this  turned  out  a 

most  successful  joke.

Gleanings  from  the  Campaign: 

In  Chicago  an  Honor  Flag  was  given  to  clubs  rated  100%  efficient  by  the  Liberty  Loan 
Committee.  To  secure  this  rating  a  club  must  buy  Bonds  from  its  corporate  funds.  The  presi- 
dent must  buy  Bonds  and  each  member  must  either  buy  or  sell  a  Bond  or  both.  Fifty  one  clubs 
in  Chicago  secured  this  Flag. 

The  Chairman  of  the  Trades  organization  of  the  Men's  Committee  in  Chicago  turned  over 
to  the  women  for  canvassing  three  trades,  covering  Miscellaneous  Women's  Wear,  Department 
Stores,  and  Furs,  Suits,  Cloaks  and  Ladies'  Dresses.  These  trades  went  "over  the  top"  with  a 
total  of  39,200,700. 

The  Booths  in  Hotels,  Restaurants,  Cafes  and  Cafeterias,  of  which  there  were  77  in  Chicago 
took  in  36,007,350  in  subscriptions.  Bonds  sold  by  Liberty  Loan  Committees  of  Women's  Clubs 
and  Fraternal  Societies,  exclusive  of  work  done  by  club  women  in  Hotels,  Department  Stores, 
etc.,  amounted  to  37,543,350. 

Sales  through  school  children's  propaganda  credited  to  the  Woman's  Committee  in  Chicago 
amounted  to  31,894,100.    The  actual  sales  made  by  school  children  was  31,560,700. 

The  Bond  selling  in  the  Theatres  in  Chicago  was  done  by  the  Stage  Women's  War  Relief 
and  credited  to  the  Trade  Division.  During  the  entire  second  week  of  the  campaign  this  solicita- 
tion in  Theatres  was  stopped.  It  was,  however,  permitted  the  last  week.  In  the  first  week 
subscriptions  to  the  amount  of  31,000,000  were  taken  and  in  the  third,  or  last,  week  the  amount 
was  3700,000. 

An  important  feature  of  the  Chicago  Organization  was  the  Special  Service  Squad — a  group 
of  young  women  organized  to  take  subscriptions  at  meeting's,  rallies,  etc:  3180,450  was  sub- 
scribed through  this  channel. 

Booths  in  banks  maintained  by  the  Woman's  Committee  reported  subscriptions  for  3170,050. 
Over  5000  women  are  listed  as  Bond  sellers  in  the  Chicago  office.    They  are  Catalouged  as 
to  name,  address,  telephone  and  what  department  they  worked  through.

Report  of  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee H 

jl failings  from  the  Campaign: 

22,020  women  worked  on  the  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committees  during  the  Fourth  Loan. 

Perhaps  the  most  spectacular  thing  planned  by  the  women  of  Indiana  was  a  flag  parade  by 
i:he  children,  when  each,  child  in  the  parade  carried  the  flag  which  had  been  waving  from  his 
nome.  It  was  called  the  Home  Flag  Parade.  There  were  flags  of  every  description,  many  of 
chem  being  large  and  handsome,  while  others  were  faded  and  torn,  but  each  flag  represented  a 
•home  in  that  particular  community. 

In  some  counties  women  painted  Liberty  Loan  propaganda  on  sidewalks,  especially  this 
sentence,  "Women,  Buy  Liberty  Bonds." 

The  Women's  Clubs  devoted  the  first  meeting  of  the  year  to  the  Liberty  Loan  having  a 
jpecial  Liberty  Loan  speaker,  and  in  many  localities  kitchen  conferences  were  held,  combining 
food  conservation  with  talks  on  buying  Bonds. 

A  spectacular  feature  of  the  Indiana  Campaign  was  Paint  \Jp  Day.  At  four  o'clock  Friday 
afternoon  preceding  the  opening  of  the  drive  was  the  time  set  in  nearly  every  city  and  town  m 
Indiana  for  a  bucket  brigade  of  women  dressed  in  white  coverall  aprons,  to  proceed  to  the  busi- 
ness district  and  paint  the  slogan  "Buy  Liberty  Bonds."  In  some  of  the  towns  the  women  were 
escorted  to  the  public  square  by  a  band.

The  Allotment  Plan  was  used  and  the  State  Quota  was  raised  in  the  first  three  days  of  the 
campaign,  the  women's  committee  being  credited  with  one-half  the  amount  raised. 

Gleanings  from  the  Campaign: 

Woodbury  County  raised  the  entire  quota  in  one  day.  The  woman  chairman  writes,  "Fifteen 
men  and  fifteen  women  were  at  each  of  the  fifteen  voting  precincts  to  help  make  out  the  applica- 
tion blanks.  People  stood  in  line  at  seven  o'clock  in  the  morning  ready  to  make  out  their  volun- 
tary subscriptions." 

Every  woman  in  Davis  County  received  a  letter  from  the  county  chairman,  Mrs.  Henry  C. 
Taylor,  urging  them  to  subscribe  to  the  Fourth  Liberty  Loan. 

In  Des  Moines  the  Woman's  Committee  made  a  house-to-house  canvass  on  the  first  Sunday 
]in  the  Campaign,  and  secured  1210  subscribers  to  3109,450  worth  of  Bonds. 

Iowa  laid  special  stress  on  a  Speaking  Campaign.  In  every  county  women  speakers  addressed 
I  meetings;  six  women  speakers  accompanied  the  War  Relic  train  on  its  trip  through  the  state.

two  committees  worked  on  a  percentage  basis,  the  women  being  credited  with  50%  of  the  sales. 
In  some  of  these  counties  the  women  made  actual  sales  of  50%. 

Number  of  Subscriptions  through  Woman's  Committee 17,229 

Gleanings  from  the  Campaign: 

In  Wyandotte  County,  where  "bne-third  of  the  total  sales  was  credited  to  the  women,  not  a 
single  Bond  was  solicited  by  either  men  or  women  and  the  County's  Quota  was  oversubscribed 
one  million  dollars  during  the  first  three  days  of  the  campaign,  all  of  it  being  purely  voluntary. 
The  women  carried  on  an  aggressive  campaign  of  education  before  the  opening  of  the  Loan. 

In  Wichita,  which  has  a  population  of  little  less  than  63,000  the  women  made  actual  sales 
to  the  amount  of  31,175,500,  selling  1,699  Bonds,  many  of  them  for  large  amounts.

Mrs.  Marshall  Bullitt,  City  Chairman 

Gleanings  from  the  Campaign: 

In  Jefferson  County,  which  includes  Louisville,  the  house-to-house  canvass  was  the  method 
used  to  raise  the  quota.  Every  district  in  the  county,  and  ward  in  the  city,  was  assigned  to 
various  teams,  some  composed  of  men,  some  women,  all  prearranged  between  the  two  committees. 
Each  team  pledged  to  canvass  only  its  own  territory.  In  the  county  outside  of  Louisville  the 
result  of  the  canvass  by  18  local  chairmen  and  their  workers  was  1,663  subscriptions  amounting 
to  3351,400.  In  the  city  1,100  workers  did  very  wonderful  work,  operatingunder  10  "Generals." 
Every  man  and  woman  in  the  district  covered  by  the  woman's  organization  was  canvassed, 
sometimes  visited  several  times,  in  order  to  secure  a  subscription.  19,769  subscriptions  were 
turned  in  amounting  to  35,647,250. 

The  work  in  Louisville  was  all  accomplished  in  three  or  four  days — an  "intensive  drive."| 

Kentucky  is  one  of  the  states  which  includes  remote  mountain  counties;  to  the  two  state' 
conferences  the  chairmen  from  these  historic  places  brought  enthusiasm  and  devotion  and  added 
a  new  chapter,  with  the  romantic  tales  of  their  section  of  the  state,  to  the  record  of  patriotism; 
of  its  citizens.  It  is  interesting  to  note  that  the  Breathitt  County  Woman  Chairman  reportSj 
31,300  subscribed.

and  one  in  the  northern  part  of  the  state,  with  instructions  to  cover  all  meetings,  and  picture 
shows.    This  was  done  until  the  influenza  put  a  stop  to  everything  of  this  sort. 

In  New  Orleans  the  campaign  was  carried  out  by  the  War  Finance  Brigade,  a  military 
organization  in  which  one  of  the  Battalions  is  composed  of  women.  The  Major  is  the  City 
Chairman,  who,  in  accordance  with  the  rules  of  the  organization  made  no  separate  industrial

It  is  worthy  of  note  that  in  25  towns  in  the  state  the  Woman's  Committee  raised  more 
ban  the  town's  quota. 

rleanings  from  the  Campaign: 

Owing  to  the  influenza  all  Maine  plans  for  publicity  in  the  nature  of  meetings,  parades,  etc., 
/ere  abandoned,  and  throughout  the  state  committees  promptly  made  their  plans  over,  and 
lut  through  a  house-to-house  canvass. 

In  Portland,  the  city  was  handled  just  as  an  election  would  be,  with  check  lists,  ward  booths 
nd  application  blanks  instead  of  ballots.  People  were  taken  by  auto  from  every  house  and 
arried  to  the  polls  to  subscribe.  The  women  were  given  three  wards  of  the  city  as  their  part 
f  the  work. 

In  Lewiston  and  Auburn,  with  three  days'  notice,  the  women  were  called  upon  to  make  a 
ouse-to-house  canvass  of  the  residential  districts,  for  a  whirlwind  drive  on  the  first  day  of  the 
ampaign.  They  had  planned  previously  for  booths  managed  by  the  various  women's  organ- 
:ations,  but  they  changed  their  plan  on  request  of  the  men's  committee,  did  the  work  in  a  pouring 
iin;  Auburn  went  over  the  top  that  day  and  Lewiston  a  few  days  later.  The  women  raised 
lm©st  one-fourth  of  the  quota  of  the  two  cities  in  the  residential  districts. 

In  Bangor,  after  the  drive  opened,  the  Men's  Committee  called  on  the  women  to  canvass 
1  wards  of  the  city. 

Through  the  Woman's  Committee  Publicity  Chairman  every  county  offered  in  the  form  of 
'hrift  Stamps  four  prizes  in  the  schools  for  essays  on  the  Liberty  Loan,  and  two  prizes  were 
ffered  in  the  state  for  a  Liberty  Loan  poster.  All  schools  were  supplied  with  posters  and 
iitable  literature.

Gleanings  from  the  Campaign: 

A  poster  competition  in  the  schools  was  among  the  most  successful  means  of  publicity 
especially  in  rural  districts.  This  was  illustrated  by  the  town  of  Tolland,  Hampden  County, 
with  a  population  of  200,  and  quota  of  35200.  The  seemingly  impossible  problem  was  turned, 
over  to  the  school  teacher  and  her  sixteen  pupils  who  started  a  poster  contest.  A  rally  with  a' 
patriotic  program  was  held,  posters  were  exhibited,  and  36000  in  one  evening  was  the  result  of  the 
children's  call  for  patriotism. 

The  poster  selected  for  New  England,  a  rising  sun,  with  the  caption  "Buy  a  Liberty  Bond 
Today"  was  developed  from  a  cartoon  submitted  by  a  jfifteen  year  old  girl  in  a  Gloucester  high 
school. 

Sufficiently  spectacular  to  attract  enormous  crowds,  and  swell  the  total  subscriptions  of  the 
committee  several  hundred  thousand  dollars,  was  the  All  America  Liberty  Fair  which  was  held 
on  Boston  Common  by  the  Committee  of  Foreign  Birth  or  Descent,  the  last  day  of  the  drive. 
Not  only  did  this  Fair  appeal  to  the  patriotism  of  the  fifteen  nationalities  represented  through 
the  stirring  speeches  in  different  languages,  through  the  music  of  bands,  singing  of  grand  opera 
stars^  and  general  singing  of  National  songs,  but  it  appealed  to  every  lover  of  the  picturesque 
through  the  beautifully  decorated  booths,  and  the  native  costumes  of  the  Liberty  Loan  workers. 
The  patriotism  which  the  new  Americans  expressed  was  inspiring  to  all  who  witnessed  it,  and 
was  a  fitting  close  to  the  campaign. 

A  Barnstable  County  woman  dug  50  bushels  of  clams  at  31.00  a  bushel,  and  purchased 
therewith  a  350  Liberty  Bond. 

A  street  publicity  committee  for  distributing  literature  was  one  of  the  features  of  the  work 
in  Lawrence. 

A  novel  feature  in  connection  with  the  opening  of  outside  booths  in  Boston  was  the  group 
of  eight  tables  on  Washington  Street,  between  Franklin  and  Summer,  where  traffic  was  shut  off 
between  twelve  and  two  every  day  during  the  last  week  of  the  campaign.  The  decorations, 
the  march  of  the  workers  on  Washington  Street  headed  by  a  band  and  chorus  of  well  trained 
voices;  speakers  of  prominence  including  the  Alpini,  drew  large  crowds. 

A  bulletin  board  with  striking  slogans  was  a  special  advertising  feature  of  the  committee 
in  Taunton. 

A  picturesque  rally  took  place  at  the  large  cranberry  bog  in  Plymouth.  They  had  about 
thirty  colored  Portuguese  to  be  paid  off ;  when  they  came  for  their  money  they  had  the  United 
States  and  Portuguese  flags  flying  and  a  graphophone  played  the  two  national  airs.  More  than 
a  third  of  them  took  Bonds. 

A  great  stimulus  was  the  Unconditional  Surrender  Club,  or  U.  S.  Club.  The  idea  spread 
like  wildfire,  and  the  little  pieces  of  red,  white,  and  blue  ribbon  of  the  badge  were  soon  proudly 
worn  all  over  the  state. 

Women  of  Brookline  put  "Anti-Flu"  booths  on  the  street  at  trolley  transfer  stations. 

An  Honor  Flag  was  awarded  to  all  Women's  Organizations  and  Clubs,  75%  of  whose  member^ 
ship  had  bought  a  Liberty  Bond.

Gleanings  from  the  Campaign: 

In  counties  where  the  Volunteer  system  was  employed,  the  women  were  most  active  in  the 
educational  work  preceding  the  volunteer  days,  they  assumed  the  leading  active  part  in  all 
school  propaganda,  directed  the  activities  of  the  speakers  and  four-minute  men,  played  hostess 
to  the  Jackie  Band  and  county  conferences,  and  made  it  their  business  to  see  that  no  public 
meeting  was  held  at  which  the  Loan  was  not  represented.  They  formed  their  own  committees 
to  do  clerical  work,  and  prepared  themselves  to  do  duty  in  the  booths  on  volunteer  days.  It 
was  customary  to  have  an  equal  number  of  men  and  women  in  the  booths.  If  the  volunteer  days 
were  followed  by  a  subscription  period  the  women  worked  with  the  men  in  ward  canvassing.  In 
these  counties  the  men  divided  fifty  fifty  voluntarily,  and  were  loud  in  their  praise. 

In  the  counties  where  the  Allotment  plan  was  employed,  the  women  were  more  active  in 
the  clerical  work;  the  cards  were  divided  among  the  ward  captains,  who  distributed  them  where 
they  considered  they  could  be  best  handled,  there  were  no  complaints  from  the  women  as  to 
injustice  in  the  distribution.  Up  to  the  present  time  no  man  has  said  that  any  woman  allowed  a 
man  to  get  away  with  less  than  his  allotment,  and  some  women  persuaded  people  to  oversub- 
scribe their  allotment.  The  educational  work  in  the  schools,  theatres,  public  meetings,  and  the 
superintendency  of  county  luncheons  for  members  of  the  conferences,  as  well  as  the  Jackie  Band 
was  left  almost  entirely  to  them.  In  these  counties  the  men  claimed  the  women  earned  their 
one-half  of  everything. 

Detroit  was  divided  into  10  sections,  under  team  captains.  The  woman's  team  sold  32,000,- 
000  more  than  any  other.

Gleanings  from  the  Campaign: 

Each  county  in  the  state  had  its  own  Woman's  speaking  campaign,  with  very  satisfactory 
results. 

Forest  fires  in  five  counties  proved  a  serious  handicap.  There  was  a  great  loss  of  life  and 
property.  Many  of  the  subscriptions  were  cancelled  in  these  counties.  Some  of  the  other 
counties  made  extra  subscriptions  to  cover  deficit. 

The  Woman's  Committee  attended  largely  to  the  publicity,  educational  and  clerical  work 
of  the  campaign.

and  St.  Joseph  organization. 

State  conferences  in  Missouri  were  called  jointly  by  men  and  women,  and  attended  by 
both  organizations. 

Gleanings  from  the  Campaign: 

The  St.  Louis  campaign  was  opened  by  a  Woman's  Committee  mass  meeting  of  men  and 
women  ward  and  precinct  chairmen. 

Cape  Girardeau  has  an  organization  called  the  Minute  Women.  This  consists  of  a  group  of 
two  hundred  and  eleven  women  who  hold  themselves  in  readiness  to  respond  to  call  on  a  minute's 
notice.  They  are  divided  into  units;  automobile,  speakers,  clerical,  typists,  decorating,  tel- 
ephone and  poster-making.  The  success  of  the  campaign  in  Cape  Girardeau  is  largely  attrib- 
uted to  this  splendid  organization. 

Livingston  County  boasts  a  unique  organization  called  the  "Nickel  Club."  It  is  composed 
of  school  children  who  bring  five  cents  a  day,  and  in  the  poorer  communities  where  the  children 
have  no  money,  they  sell  eggs  and  collect  junk  to  sell.  The  money  is  then  brought  to  school 
and  Liberty  Bonds  bought,  which  are  to  be  given  as  an  endowment  fund  for  a  home  for  orphans 
of  American  soldiers  and  sailors. 

Columbus  opened  the  campaign  with  a  large  parade,  Saturday,  September  27th,  Volunteer 
D&y.  Over  three  thousand  people  took  part  in  the  procession,  including  students  from  the 
University,  Stephens  and  Christian  Colleges.  The  feature  most  distinctive  was  achieved  by 
the  young  women  of  Christian  College.  These  girls  were  dressed  exactly  alike  in  white  with 
red,  white,  and  blue  Liberty  caps  and  banners.  They  marched  sixteen  abreast,  and  as  they 
marched  they  lifted  their  voices  in  a  grand  chorus  of  Liberty  Loan  songs,  "Buy  a  Bond,"  and 
"For  Your  Boy  and  My  Boy"  striking  the  first  note  of  Liberty  Loan  music  in  Boone  County. 
Subscriptions  were  offered  faster  than  the  Bond  salesman  could  write  them. 

Meetings  were  held  in  practically  every  school  house  in  the  state.  The  children  had  debat- 
ing contests  between  rival  teams  of  four  minute  speakers  (children),  and  all  learned  and  sang 
the  Liberty  songs.  Many  schools  organized  bands  of  carol  singers,  who  went  through  the 
villages  at  night  singing  before  the  different  private  homes  and  wherever  groups  of  people  were 
gathered. 


Report  of  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  17 

The  first  week  of  the  campaign  in  Kansas  City  and  in  fact  the  entire  Tenth  Federal  Reserve 
District  was  giv  n  over  to  advertising.  Not  a  Bond  was  sold  during  that  time.  The  second 
week  of  the  campaign  started  with  mass  meetings  and  parades.  During  the  week  of  the  canvass, 
daily  luncheons  were  held  at  which  flags  were  awarded  each  day  to  the  ward  chairman  having 
the  largest  number  of  subscriptions  for  that  day,  and  also  to  the  one  having  the  largest  total. 
At  the  end  of  the  campaign  the  flags  remained  in  the  possession  of  the  ward  having  the  largest 
cumulative  totals.  To  these  luncheons  the  badge  of  admission  was  the  arm  band  adopted  by 
the  National  Liberty  Loan  Committee.  The  women  of  Kansas  City  also  had  the  wards  in  the 
residential  district  and  were  aided  by  the  flying  squadron  and  the  submarine  squadron  composed 
of  men  who  solicited  in  certfein  districts,  munition  factories,  and  other  industrial  plants  where 
it  was  deemed  unadvisable  for  the  women  to  take  subscriptions.  However,  any  subscriptions 
that  they  obtained  were  credited  to  the  women. 

The  campaign  in  St.  Louis,  after  having  made  a  splendid  start  came  practically  to  a  stand- 
still after  the  influenza  put  a  ban  on  activities.  On  Monday  morning,  October  14th,  when 
people  arrived  in  the  business  district  they  found  literally  a  crimson  town.  Every  window, 
every  lamp-post  bore  enormous  signs  on  a  bright  red  background  with  white  letters  two  feet 
long  bearing  the  words,  "HELP— ST.  LOUIS  OVER  THE  TOP."  Every  crossing  had  painted 
on  the  asphalt  of  the  street,  "HELP— ST.  LOUIS  OVER  THE  TOP."  Every  mail,  express, 
delivery  wagon,  and  automobile  bore  the  same  legend,  every  traffic  policeman  waved  his  signals 
with  cardboard  signs  beseeching  people  to  "HELP— ST.  LOUIS  OVER  THE  TOP."  Twelve 
bands  patrolled  the  streets  playing  the  Liberty  Loan  music,  accompanied  by  salesmen  who 
stopped  people  passing  and  got  subscriptions.  On  Friday,  Oct.  18th,  St.  Louis  being  still  behind, 
new  red  signs  appeared  with  the  words  "BUY  AGAIN."  Saturday,  October  19th,  the  explod- 
ing of  bombs  announced  the  glad  tidings  that  St.  Louis  had  subscribed  her  quota.  The  women 
had  the  wards  in  the  entire  residential  district  and  did  splendid  work. 

Liberty  Loan  Sunday  was  very  generally  observed.  Livingston  County  had  its  ministers 
preach  patriotic  sermons.  The  people  were  notified  to  bring  their  lunch  in  baskets.  After  the 
church  services,  the  whole  county  sat  down  to  a  mammoth  basket  picnic.  Liberty  Loan  songs 
were  sung  by  women  choral  singers,  a  striking  address  was  made,  and  subscriptions  taken  on 
the  spot  for  Liberty  Bonds. 

The  Woman's  Committee  in  St.  Joseph  disposed  of  one-half  the  Bonds  subscribed.

Distances  in  the  state,  and  the  cost  of  railroa;d  fare,  precluded  calling  a  State  Conference, 

Gleanings  from  the  Campaign: 

In  Washoe  County,  of  which  Reno  is  the  county  seat,  the  women  worked  under  the  direction 
of  the  Men's  Committee,  and  the  men  were  so  pleased  with  the  results  of  the  work  done  that 
they  volunteered  to  credit  them  with  half  the  subscriptions  obtained. 

In  Tonopah,  the  Men's  Committee  asked  the  Woman's  Committee  to  take  over  the  entire 
soliciting  of  Bonds,  as  their  experience  with  the  Woman's  Committee  in  the  Third  Loan  had 
convinced  them  that  the  women  were  amply  able  to  handle  it  themselves  and  they  gave  the 
women  the  credit  for  the  entire  sum  raised  in  Nye  County,  which  was  3453,350. 

The  entire  expense  for  putting  over  the  women's  share  of  the  Loan,  as  given  above,  did  not 
exceed  3175.00.

Gleanings  from  the  Campaign: 

Organization  for  the  Fourth  Loan  began  in  New  Hampshire  on  August  16th,  the  day  after 
the  final  payment  in  the  Third  Loan. 

Ten  31000  Bonds,  autographed  by  President  Wilson,  were  sold  by  Mrs.  Henry  W.  Keys, 
wife  of  the  Governor,  herself  a  member  of  the  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee. 

One  of  the  big  publicity  assets  of  the  campaign  was  the  Liberty  loan  Poster  Exhibit  arranged 
by  the  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee.  There  were  French,  English,  Canadian,  Italian 
and  Algerian  posters,  besides  a  practically  complete  set  of  American  posters.  These  were  dis- 
played at  the  large  autumn  meeting  of  the  Colonial  Dames  Society  and  the  Federation  of  Women's 
Clubs,  as  well  as  at  the  Liberty  Loan  Mass  Meeting  of  the  Men's  and  Women's  Committees. 
Later  this  exhibit  was  displayed,  by  request,  at  a  department  store  in  Manchester,  the  largest 
in  the  state,  attracting  many  visitors  and  most  favorable  newspaper  comment. 

Mrs.  Schofield  sent  out  a  special  appeai  to  all  women  whose  "next  of  kin"  were  in  their 
country's  service.  This  appeal  was  printed  on  the  cover  of  the  "First  Service  Star"  which  was 
printed  for  national  use  by  the  National  Committee.  This  effective  appeal  was  as  follows: 
"Will  you,  whose  'next  of  kin'  are  in  our  country's  service,  take  a  350  Bond  today  for  the  sake 
of  each  of  your  boys  who  has  gone  to  fight  for  us?  If  you  have  bought  other  Bonds,  buy  one 
more  for  his  sake, — and  pay  for  it  outright,  or  on  the  installment  plan  of  31  a  week.  Today  I 
have  bought  two  such  Bonds  for  my  boys'  sake."

Amount  raised  through  Woman's  Committee 1,678,080 

Percentage  raised  through  Woman's  Committee 3lj^% 

Gleanings  from  the  Campaign: 

In  Quay  County  the  Woman's  Committee  obtained  practically  three-fourths  of  the  entire 
amount  subscribed  and  the  county  quota  was  almost  doubled.  The  men's  committee  in  that 
coub/ty  furnished  bands  and  automobiles  and  escorted  the  women  about  the  county  and  women 
made  the  appeals  and  took  the  subscriptions. 

In  Dona  Ana  County  the  chairman  of  the  Woman's  Committee  took  over  the  work  of  the 
Chairman  of  the  men's  committee,  who  was  ill  with  influenza,  and  under  her  direction  the  county 
raised  three  times  its  quota. 

Ten  thousand  dodgers,  urging  the  buying  of  Bonds,  were  printed  in  Spanish,  for  the  use  of 
the  Spanish-American  population. 

Several  chairmen  reported  that  the  spirit  which  prevailed  during  the  Fourth  Loan  was 
very  much  better  than  during  the  Third  Loan.  In  counties  where  drought  had  killed  the  cattle 
and  cut  down  the  incomes  of  ranchmen  and  stockmen,  many  men  took  Bonds,  knowing  they 
would  have  to  leave  their  homes  and  find  work  in  towns  to  pay  for  them. 

The  women  were  particularly  successful  in  placing  Bonds  of  small  denominations.  They 
devoted  much  of  their  attention  to  reaching  women  in  isolated  places. 

The  campaign  in  New  Mexico  was  made  largely  by  use  of  automobiles,  which  were  donated; 
the  money  allotted  the  Woman's  Committee  for  expenses  is  practically  untouched.

The  Woman's  Committee  report  taking  452,105  subscriptions  and  that  the  name  and  address 
of  every  subscriber  is  listed  at  headquarters.  Of  this  number  not  more  than  1,200  were  sub- 
scribers in  excess  of  31,000  and  not  more  than  20,000  were  subscribed  in  amounts  of  3500 
and  over.    This  is  proof  conclusive  of  reaching  the  small  investor  to  an  extraordinary  extent. 

Outside  of  New  York  City  the  Woman's  Committee  secured  23%  of  the  New  York  state 
quota.  There  were  two  counties  worked  on  percentage  basis,  one  allowed  the  Woman's  Com- 
mittee 50%  and  the  other  33^%. 

Gleanings  from  the  Campaign: 

Women's  organizations  in  New  York  City  subscribed  338,231,490. 

A  camouflaged  Fifth  Avenue  bus  in  charge  of  the  Motor  Corps  of  America  paraded  the 
streets  of  New  York  City  for  the  duration  of  the  Loan  and  secured  subscriptions  to  the  amount 
of  3239,000. 

The  Foreign  Language  Division  of  the  Woman's  Committee  of  New  York  City  reported 
32,857,800  subscribed.  The  Booth  Committee  reports  344,836,200  subscribed.  The  Theatre 
Committee  of  the  Boroughs  of  Manhattan,  Brooklyn  and  the  Bronx  report  326,892,900  subscribed. 

The  Liberty  Theatre  maintained  by  the  Stage  Woman's  War  Relief  Association  on  the 
steps  of  the  Public  Library,  in  New  York  City,  on  Fifth  Avenue  at  Forty-first  Street,  kept  a 
continuous  performance  of  speeches  and  music  going  daily  from  eleven  o'clock  until  six  o'clock, 
for  the  duration  of  the  Liberty  Loan  campaign  and  secured  subscriptions  for  32,351,800  worth 
of  Bonds.  It  would  be  impossible  to  estimate  the  publicity  value  of  this  brilliant  enterprise, 
which  reached  thousands  of  people  daily  and  was  the  crowning  point  of  the  carnival  that  was 
Fifth  Avenue  during  the  Fourth  Liberty  Loan. 

It  is  estimated  that  there  were  7,000  women  working  on  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committees 
in  New  York  state,  exclusive  of  the  thousands  of  volunteers  helping  in  the  campaign.

Men  and  women  held  conferences  together. 

Gleanings  from  the  Campaign: 

In  Granville  County  trucks  equipped  with  pianos  and  singers  went  from  village  to  village 
through  the  county  holding  community  "sings"  and  selling  Bonds.  Heralds  went  before  with 
bugles  calling  the  people  "to  "the  colors."  This  proved  very  effective,  and  the  county's  quota 
was  subscribed  in  one  day. 

In  Franklin  County  the  influenza  epidemic  was  so  severe  that  the  Liberty  Loan  Committee 
abandoned  the  plan  for  a  house-to-house  canvass.  The  Woman's  Committee,  feeling  that 
this  work  was  necessary,  took  it  in  hand,  and  raised  the  county's  quota. 

Stories  are  numerous  where  women  in  the  mountain  counties  went  in  Fords  and  on  horse 
back  to  reach  meetings  of  people  and  to  make  the  personal  appeal.  Many  hardships  were 
encountered,  and  often  it  was  necessary  to  appeal  for  help  to  pull  the  car  out  of  the  mud,  but  they 
were  not  daunted  and  it  is  true  that  the  spirit  of  loyal  determination  shown  by  these  women 
has  quickened  the  patriotism  of  the  people  of  the  mountains. 

King's  Daughters,  the  only  organization  of  women  reporting  Bond  sales,  reported 
3415,750  secured  in  subscriptions.

Gleanings  from  the  Campaign: 

A  special  feature  of  the  campaign  was  a  replica  of  Mount  Vernon  on  the  Public  Square  in 
Cleveland  for  Bond  Sales  Headquarters.  An  old  time  stage  coach  with  postillion  and  four  horses 
carrying  George  and  Martha  Washington  and  Betsy  Ross  to  Mount  Vernon,  attracted  much 
attention. 

In  Dayton,  the  use  of  a  gold  tag  by  the  Woman's  Committee  for  a  last  day  "Buy  Another 
Bond"  campaign  was  successful. 

An  automobile  tour  of  the  "Liberty  Loan  Limited"  was  effective  in  the  rural  sections  of 
Cuyahoga  County. 

When  the  influenza  put  a  stop  to  all  meetings,  county-wide  telephone  campaigns  were 
instituted  and  proved  a  great  success.

Gleanings  from  the  Campaign: 

In  Multnomah  County,  which  includes  Portland,  the  Woman  Chairman  of  the  Foreign 
Language  group  did  such  excellent  work,  and  was  so  successful  in  selling  Bonds  to  these  people 
that  the  Men's  Committee  asked  her  to  take  entire  charge  of  that  branch  of  the  campaign  for 
them. 

On  September  21st,  the  entire  state  participated  in  a  "Mothers  Parade",  which  was  the 
special  feature  of  the  campaign.  Only  mothers,  wives,  sisters  and  children  of  those  in  service 
were  eligible.  It  was  estimated  that  in  Portland  5000  were  in  line,  1200  being  mothers,  headed 
by  18  Gold  Star  Mothers.  It  was  a  great,  silent  appeal  which  passed  through  the  crowded  streets. 
Two  weeks  before  the  parade  women  were  requested  through  the  newspapers,  pulpits,  schools, 
clubs,  etc.,  to  participate  in  the  parade  and  to  register  at  headquarters.  In  this  way  over  1200 
names  of  women  were  procured  who  can  be  called  on  to  assist  in  another  campaign. 

Women  working  on  men's  teams  were  allowed  to  credit  subscriptions  so  secured  to  Woman's 
Committee.    Over  a  thousand  were  so  employed  in  Portland.

Gleanings  from  Pittsburgh  Campaign: 

In  Allegheny  County,  which  includes  Pittsburgh,  12,000  women  volunteered  their  services 
for  the  Fourth  Campaign.  They  wrote  150,000  applications  in  spite  of  the  prevalence  of  the 
influenza  and  the  quarantine,  which  stopped  all  meetings.  They  took  subscriptions  for  over 
sixty-six  million  dollars  at  a  cost  of  one-hundredth  of  one  percent. 

^  The  Woman's  Committee  had  charge  of  all  the  booths,  which  numbered  fifty,  and  through 
which  332,926,350  worth  of  subscriptions  were  taken. 

The  schools  were  entirely  under  the  Woman's  Committee  securing  18,528  subscriptions 
amounting  to  33,686,700.  An  instance  of  the  splendid  work  done  by  the  schools  is  the  record 
of  the  Peabody  High  School.  With  a  total  enrollment  of  1,555,  98%  of  the  enrollment,  or 
1,522  pupils  sold  at  least  one  Bond. 

The  Boy  Scouts  working  under  the  direction  of  their  own  organization  and  reporting  to 
the  Woman's  Committee  secured  subscriptions  for  34,318,400  worth  of  Bonds. 

On  the  first  day  of  the  campaign  the  Woman's  Committee  in  Pittsburgh  served  what  was 
called  a  Trench  Breakfast,  on  a  short  street  back  of  their  offices,  called  William  Penn  Way, 
the  Y.  W.  C.  A.  taking  charge  of  the  service.  Twelve  hundred  women  were  seated  at  this 
out-door  breakfast.  At  one  side  was  an  orchestra  and  a  quartette,  at  each  place  was  a  song 
sheet  with  the  words  of  all  the  popular  war  songs.  After  the  meal  was  served  there  were  alter- 
nate periods  of  singing  and  speaking.  As  it  would  have  been  impossible  for  one  speaker  to  have 
been  heard  by  so  vast  a  throng,  for  many  additional  onlookers  had  gathered,  there  were  20 
speakers,  all  working  at  once,  each  one  covering  two  divisions.  Each  speech  was  confined  to 
five  minutes  and  at  the  end  of  such  a  period  the  speakers  changed  places,  so  that  for  half  an  hour 
they  kept  up  a  steady  run  of  short,  snappy  talks.  At  the  end  of  this  time  Mr.  Daniels  was  due 
to  arrive,  but  his  train  was  delayed  and  there  was  a  wait  of  considerable  length,  but  the  women 
were  patient,  though  they  had  been  served  at  one  o'clock  and  Mr.  Daniels  did  not  arrive  until 
four  o'clock.  Upon  his  arrival  he  was  introduced  by  the  chairman  of  the  Woman's  Committee, 
and  gave  a  stirring  speech  to  the  women.  This  eager  and  enthusiastic  gathering  was  an  aus- 
picious beginning  for  the  campaign. 

Several  days  later  the  Woman's  Committee  celebrated  their  first  special  day;  this  was 
called  Hero  Day,  celebrating  the  American  heroes  who  had  gone  over  to  the  other  side.  A 
booth  was  named  after  every  celebrated  general.  All  were  successful,  but  the  one  that  did  the 
record  business  was  the  Memorial  Booth;  there  on  a  large  tablet  were  listed  all  the  names  of 
the  boys  from  Allegheny  County  who  had  fallen  in  France.  Every  woman  who  asked  for  a 
subscription  at  that  booth  was  one  who  had  given  her  boy  on  the  field  of  battle  to  her  country. 
The  result  of  this  appeal  was  35,137,250  worth  of  subscriptions.  « 

The  next  special  feature  was  Allied  Day,  which  was  extremely  unique  and  attractive. 
Eighteen  trucks  were  decorated  as  booths  and  travelled  over  the  city  streets;  each  of  these 
booths  represented  an  Allied  country  and  ran  the  whole  gamut  from  the  United  States  to  China. 
All  these  booths  specialized  in  the  districts  where  the  people  of  their  own  nationality  lived  and 
all  reaped  a  good  harvest.  This  not  only  aroused  the  enthusiasm  of  the  various  allied  citizens, 
but  attracted  great  attention  and  gave  the  Woman's  Committee  great  publicity,  securing 
33,481,100  worth  of  subscriptions. 

Urged  on  by  the  necessity  of  making  people  subscribe  again  for  Bonds  the  Woman's  Com- 
mittee decided  to  try  what  was  called  a  "Life  Saver."  They  published  widely  in  the  papers 
that  after  a  certain  date  Liberty  Loan  buttons  would  be  no  protection  against  being  solicited 
for  Bonds,  that  the  only  people  who  would  not  be  solicited  were  those  wearing  a  Life  Tag.  They 
then  filled  the  streets  with  their  solicitors.  This  was  so  successful  that  a  rather  humorous 
incident  occurred.  The  men's  committee  came,  saying  that  they  could  sell  no  more  Bonds 
unless  the  Woman's  Committee  allowed  them  also  to  use  the  Life  Line.  The  women  at  first 
demurred  as  it  had  been  their  idea,  but  the  men  were  so  insistent,^  even  offering  to  pay  all  the 
bills  for  the  women's  as  well  as  their  own,  that  they  finally  gave  in,  and  in  a  twinkling  every 
good  citizen  of  Pittsburgh  wore  a  Life  Line  in  his  coat.  In  connection  with  this  Life  Line,  it  is 
mteresting  to  know  that  the  Woman's  Committee  received  permission  from  the  street  car  com- 
panies for  their  solicitors  to  board  the  cars  and  sell  Bonds.  This  was  the  first  time  such  per- 
mission had  been  given  in  Pittsburgh.

Gleanings  from  the  Campaign: 

Publicity  was  done  almost  entirely  through  the  newspapers.  The  State  Chairman  had  a 
list  of  all  the  papers  in  the  state,  and  the  dailies  which  were  taken  in  the  state,  and  to  each  of 
these  papers  articles  with  local  coloring  were  sent. 

County  Chairman  made  use  of  the  talent  of  the  school  children  and  had  them  make  posters. 

One  County  Chairman  sent  a  card  to  every  man  in  the  county  suggesting  that  his  wife 
would  rather  have  a  Liberty  Bond  for  a  Christmas  gift  than  any  other  present. 

22%  of  the  women  in  the  state  are  Bond  holders. 

In  one  township  every  inhabitant,  but  seven,  man,  woman,  and  child,  bought  a  Bond. 

The  campaign  in  South  Dakota  was  practically  over  in  one  day.

subscriptions  were  sold  than  there  were  names  in  the  1918  city  directory. 

Decorated  automobiles  carrying  speakers  to  rural  districts,  proved  a  successful  campaign 
activity. 

In  Berkely  County  the  Men's  Committee  turned  the  campaign  entirely  over  to  the  women.

In  the  4th  Campaign  in  many  counties  in  Tennessee  the  Women's  Committee  arranged 
with  the  men  for  a  50%  credit. 
Gleanings  from  the  Campaign: 

Agricultural  Campaign  was  conducted  by  organized  house-to-house  canvass.  The  women 
travelling  in  buggies  and  on  horseback  where  machines  could  not  go.  The  State  Chairman  gave 
special  attention  to  the  agricultural  districts,  talking  to  county  courts  on  first  Mondays  during 
the  entire  summer.    Negroes  organized  and  did  splendid  work  without  outside  help. 

Nashville  women  conducted  a  wonderful  campaign,  and  the  feature  of  it  was  street  booths, 
over  twenty  in  number.  From  morning  until  eleven  at  night  those  booths  were  open  and  oper- 
ated by  leading  women.  All  of  the  leading  young  girls  in  town  gave  their  entire  time  to  these 
and  special  amusement  programs  were  given  during  the  day  and  evening  at  these  booths.  The 
programs  were  invariably  printed  in  the  papers  the  day  before.  The  street  looked  like  a  big 
carnival;  everything  else  in  Nashville  was  closed  on  account  of  influenza,  but  the  women  saw 
their  campaign  through.  The  result  was  the  Nashville  women  sold  actually  64%  of  the  city's 
quota. 

The  publicity  chairman  in  Nashville,  for  both  men  and  women,  was  a  member  of  the  Woman's 
organization. 

In  Knoxville  and  Nashville  brilliant  night  parades  were  an  activity  of  the  Woman's  Com- 
mittee.

Gleanings  from  the  Campaign: 

In  Harrison  county  a  band  of  Liberty  Loan  entertainers,  composed  of  singers  and  speakers, 

visited  the  various  towns. 

In  Maverick  county,  after  four  days  work,  the  Woman's  Committee  alone  took  the  county 

"over  the  top." 

There  are  253  counties  in  the  state.    Some  of  these  counties  have  no  railroads,  one  or  twc 

have  not  a  post  office,  and  at  least  one  has  not  a  single  bank.     In  all  the  counties  the  women 

worked  for  the  Loan,  although  many  workers  suffered  grievous  losses  from  the  epidemic.

Dear  Mrs.  Cunningham: 

Mrs.  Mary  Bell  at  your  service.    Am  doing  all  I  can  in  my  small  sphere  to  win  the   wai 

No,  I  don't  feel  it  is  "Hot  and  dusty"  for  I  am  a  ranch  woman,  running  sheep  and  cattle 
with  the  assistance  of  my  boy  and  girl.  So  you  see  I  am  tempered  to  the  heat,  dust,  and  cold 
I  herd  sheep,  run  cattle,  and  incidentally  now  have  undertaken  to  help  run  the  Hun.  Expect  tc 
make  as  good  success  at  that  as  I  have  in  running  other  beasts. 

Live  ten  miles  from  town,  but  am  also  teaching  a  little  music  class  in  our  only  school  in  th< 
county.  Despite  the  severe  drought,  we  have  had  to  endure,  our  little  handful  of  people 
have  come  nobly  up,  and  we  will  always  be  ready  to  do  all  that  can  be  done.    Just  command  me 

Respectfully, 


Report  of  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee 25 

Letter  No.  2. 

Rankin,  Texas,  October  14,  1918. 
Dear  Mrs.  Cunningham: 

Don't  think  the  women  are  not  doing  all  they  can  in  this  part  of  the  world.  We  haven't 
any  but  true  and  tried  workers.  Some  are  out  helping  with  sheep,  driving  the  chuck  wagon, 
and  cooking  for  husbands.  Some  make  cow  hands,  riding  and  working  hard  all  day,  throw  their 
little  roll  of  bedding  off  the  chuck  wagon,  on  the  ground  at  night,  and  "Fall  in"  as  the  boys  say. 

I  see  so  much  in  every  paper  about  how  much  the  women  are  doing,  but  think  the  women 
out  here  work  under  more  trying  circumstances  than  they  do  most  anywhere  else.  I  wonder 
what  some  would  do  if  they  had  to  stay  out,  just  two  women,  with  two  Mexican  herders  and  a 
flock  of  sheep,  and  a  herd  of  cattle  to  hold  and  care  for  four  days  and  nights  at  a  time,  and  50 
miles  from  any  communication. 

You  see  we  are  not  afraid  of  any  kind  of  work,  and  if  we  women  could  get  two  Huns  each,  a 
good  horse  and  saddle,  and  a  good  gun,  the  men  could  go  on  about  their  business,  and  we  would 
at  least  make  him  work  till  he  wouldn't  be  able  to  kill  babies.     Yours  for  service,

State  conference  of  men  and  women  held  in  Salt  Lake  City. 

Gleanings  from  thi  Campaign: 

A  Woman's  Bank  was  a  special  feature  of  the  campaign  in  Salt  Lake  City.  It  was  of  the 
portable  variety,  and  was  erected  during  the  night,  upon  a  prominent  business  corner,  being 
placed  directly  upon  the  pavement.  The  building  was  painted  white,  with  a  broad  porch  in 
front,  and  a  large  sign  on  top  to  designate  its  purpose.  The  building  was  donated  for  the  cam- 
paign, no  expense  being  incurred  by  the  Committee.  Each  day  a  special  entertainment  was 
featured  upon  the  porch,  and  after  a  crowd  had  been  attracted,  a  strong  appeal  was  made  by 
one  of  the  four  minute  men.  This  "Bungalow  Bank"  helped  materially  to  swell  the  totals  of 
the  women's  committee,  and  was  one  of  the  most  popular  features  of  the  campaign. 

The  National  League  for  Woman's  Service  conducted  a  vigorous  and  intelligent  campaign. 
At  the  State  Fair,  which  was  held  in  Salt  Lake  City  during  the  drive,  this  league  did  especially 
good  work.  Not  only  were  many  Bonds  sold  at  that  time,  but  an  educational  campaign  was 
conducted  among  the  rural  visitors  which  resulted  in  much  good  later. 

The  Women's  Clubs  committee  also  conducted  a  state  campaign.  Women's  Clubs  con- 
tributed three  times  the  amount  subscribed  for  the  Third  Loan — the  women  of  the  labor  organ- 
izations making  a  special  effort  and  conducting  a  booth  at  the  Labor  Temple.  Many  women's 
organizations  reported  one  hundred  per  cent  returns. 

The  churches  in  the  state  did  splendid  work;  a  rivalry  between  denominations  developed 
which  brought  in  amazing  returns.

Gleanings  from  the  Campaign: 

Each  county  worked  out  special  features  for  advertising  the  Loan.  In  Rutland  an  original 
idea  was  the  Liberty  Cars.  Touring  cars  were  named  for  the  famous  generals  of  the  Allied 
Armies.  These  cars  ran  competition  sales  and  caused  a  great  deal  of  enthusiasm  besides  selling 
a  large  number  of  Bonds.  Special  attention  was  paid  to  the  schools  and  the  work  done  there 
was  not  only  patriotic  but  educational  in  teaching  thrift  and  investment. 

Although  there  was  a  thoroughly  organized  speakers'  campaign,  with  good  speakers  ap-

Gleanings  from  the  Campaign: 

Almost  all  special  features  had  to  be  dispensed  with  on  account  of  the  influenza  epidemic. 
In  almost  every  county  and  town,  meetings  were  forbidden  as  well  as  house-to-house  canvass. 
Business  was  suspended  and  nursing  the  sick,  or  burying  the  dead  became  the  chief  occupation. 
The  situation  as  far  as  our  campaign  was  concerned  could  hardly  have  appeared  more  desperate. 
Chairman  begged  and  pleaded  for  an  extension  of  time  to  carry  out  their  quotas  on  time.  It 
was  often  necessary  to  do  this  entirely  by  phone  in  spite  of  a  demoralized  service,  but  they  went 
to  it  and  made  a  great  fight. 

A  great  number  of  people  in  outlying  counties  invested  for  the  first  time,  and  this  class 
particularly  were  reached  by  the  women.

Mrs.  Edgar  Ames,  City  Chairman 
Gleanings  from  the  Campaign: 

In  several  counties  Bonds  were  sold  by  correspondence  only.  The  Central  Committee 
wrote  a  letter  to  each  person  in  the  county  and  assigned  him  an  amount  and  asked  him  to  call 
at  the  bank  and  buy  that  amount  on  a  certain  day.  No  solicitation  was  done  in  these  counties 
and  they  more  than  raised  their  quotas.  The  women  assisted  in  all  these  counties  in  the  public- 
ity and  every  means  of  promoting  the  interest  in  Liberty  Bonds. 

One  device  used  by  a  successful  war  worker  in  a  little  Pacific  Beach  community  was  that 
of  sending  a  card  each  week  to  everyone  in  her  precinct  who  had  not  bought  a  Bond.  She  reported 
that  it  finally  did  the  work. 

Owing  to  the  varying  geographical  conditions  in  many  parts  of  the  state  making  travel 
extremely  difficult — the  vast  distances,  the  sparsely  settled  counties — the  varying  industries, 
running  the  gamut  of  logging,  mining,  farming,  fishing,  and  canning  as  well  as  those  pertaining 
to  more  cosmopolitan  life,  such  as  manufacturing,  shipbuilding,  milling,  etc.,  no  set  plans  for 
publicity  could  be  made.  But  to  these  different  communities  were  sent  out  speakers  and  litera- 
ture adapted  to  their  various  conditions. 

Mrs.  Josephine  Preston,  State  Superintendent  of  Schools,  reports  that  in  the  eighth  grade 
schools  every  fifth  child  was  a  Bond  purchaser. 

TheStateFederationof  Colored  Women  reports  335,500  subscribed  through  this  organization. 
"The  Children's  Parade"  familiarly  known  as  the  "Kid's  Parade"  was  the  unique  feature 
of  city  campaigns.  This  parade  originated  entirely  in  their  play  and  developed  into  a  big  publi- 
city event.  The  broad  streets  of  the  big  sprawling  western  towns  high  above  Puget  Sound  held 
a  stream  of  moving  children  for  hours.  Street  cars  were  stopped,  motors  stood  in  long  lines, 
and  mothers  and  fathers  leaned  from  shop  and  office  windows  while  the  bands  of  minature  Red 
Cross  Nurses,  companies  of  khaki  clad  Indian  lads  from  the  Cushman  Indian  School,  black 
boys  and  girls  from  the  African  Methodist  Church,  Boy  Scouts,  little  Miss  Liberty,  Uncle  Sam, 
the  Army,  "Little  Mother  and  her  Child"  carrying  the  inevitable  suggestion  of  overseas  "Little 
Mothers",  two  children  of  a  Lieutenant  at  the  front  carrying  a  "Bond  House"  with  "Our  Daddy's 
in  France  and  we  Buy  Liberty  Bonds",  marched  and  marched  through  the  long  afternoon  for  the 
Stars  and  Stripes. 

Aproximately  eight  thousand  "Minute  Women"  served  in  the  Fourth  Campaign.  These 
women  are  organized  for  all  war  work  and  during  the  Liberty  Loan  Campaigns  are  at  the  service 
of  the  State  Chairman  of  the  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee. 

In  Tacoma  this  organization  made  two  house-to-house  canvasses  through  the  residence 
district,  one  distributing  circulars  and  propaganda,  and  the  second  time  following  up,  when  they 
sold  3135,175  worth  of  Bonds. 


Report  of  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee 27 

At  the  beginning  of  the  campaign  in  Tacoma  a  Liberty  Loan  dinner  dance  was  given  by 
the  Woman's  Publicity  Committee.  During  the  dinner  while  the  dancers  were  on  the  floor,  a 
fusillade  of  shots  was  heard,  then  a  squad  of  soldiers  with  fixed  bayonets  surrounded  the  dance 
floor  ordering  the  dancers  to  cease  A  speaker  arose  at  one  of  the  tables  and  referred  to  this 
invasion  as  something  that  might  easily  have  occured  on  any  occasion  by  our  enemies  if  this 
country  had  not  taken  such  immediate  steps  to  protect  itself  and  urged  the  buying  of  Bonds  to 
prevent  the  possibility  of  such  happenings  and  to  support  the  splendid  men  who  had  already 
gone  to  defend  us.  After  another  address  by  a  woman  speaker,  girls  passed  subscription  blanks 
taking  in  332,352  in  subscriptions. 

Pre-campaign  work  was  done  by  the  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  through  exhibits 
at  the  State  Fair.  A  booth  was  maintained,  posters  were  displayed,  and  members  of  the  Com- 
mittee presided  each  day,  answering  questions  and  giving  out  literature. 

The  State  Federation  of  Women's  Clubs  invested  all  available  funds  in  Liberty  Bonds  and 
many  clubs  throughout  the  state  followed  their  example.  Women's  organizations  were  all 
appealed  to,  and  in  many  cases,  bought  Bonds. 

In  Tacoma  a  committee  of  women  worked  every  day  in  "Victory  Hall"  securing  subscrip- 
tions for  3187,200  worth  of  Bonds,  the  majority  of  which  were  of  350  denomination.

Gleanings  from  the  Campaign: 

The  Sacrifice  Club,  instituted  in  the  last  days  of  the  campaign  resulted  in  many  thousands 
of  dollars  being  raised.  Wheeling  leading  with  3100,000. 

After  the  first  week  of  the  Loan  no  public  meetings  were  held,  which  necessitated  large 
subscriptions  by  corporations  and  banks  for  which  women's  committees  received  no  credit.  The 
Women's  Committees  in  most  instances  took  charge  of  the  emergency  hospitals  of  the  counties, 
nursed  the  sick  and  looked  after  the  stricken  homes  generally. 

In  Ohio  County  the  men  and  women  divided  the  house-to-house  canvass  equally  and  split 
evenly  big  corporation  subscriptions.  This  was  an  ideal  arrangement  and  deserves  special  mention 
as  a  model  County  Organization  composed  of  two  entirely  separate  organizations  working 
together.  It  is  interesting  to  note  that  in  this  equal  division,  the  women  exceeded  the  men's 
portion  in  the  District  by  3377,400.  After  covering  their  territory  so  thoroughly,  they  procured, 
in  addition,  approximately  3100,000  in  the  Sacrifice  Club  on  from  six  to  eight  hours  notice.

The  following  impressive  resolution  was  adopted  by  the  Milwaukee  County  Wisconsin 
Liberty  Loan  Executive  Committee,  October,  1918:  "In  recognition  of  the  patriotism  of  the 
women  of  Milwaukee  County  and  of  their  co-operation  in  the  county  plan  of  organization  for 
the  sale  of  Bonds  and  by  promoting  educational  work  for  the  Fourth  Liberty  Loan,  the  Mil- 
waukee County  Executive  Committee,  representing  32  industrial  groups,  hereby  assigns  to  the 
Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee,  credit  for  one-half  of  the  total  amount  subscribed,  to  the 
end  that  the  men  and  women  of  Milwaukee  County  may  be  justly  represented  as  united  in  the 
support  of  the  Government  in  the  war." 

State  conference  for  counties  in  the  Seventh  District  was  called  jointly  by  men  and  women 
and  were  attended  by  both  organizations.     Conference  held  in  Milwaukee. 


28 Report  of  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee 

Gleanings  from  the  Campaign: 

It  is  estimated  that  there  are  10,000  women  enlisted  for  Liberty  Loan  work  in  the  state. 

A  special  responsibility  of  the  publicity  committee  in  each  county  was  the  reaching  of 
farmer's  wives  with  information  about  the  campaign,  and  their  responsibilities  to  their  Govern- 
ment. In  Milwaukee  County,  a  special  decorated  street  car,  one  side  of  which  was  devoted 
to  a  huge  sign  for  the  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee,  was  used  on  the  streets  of  the  city 
during  the  campaign  and  excited  much  interest. 

A  letter  from  Mr.  C.  P.  Cary,  State  Superintendent  of  Schools,  to  all  superintendents, 
principals  and  teachers  in  Wisconsin,  was  sent  with  one  from  the  State  Chairman  of  the  Woman's 
Liberty  Loan  Committee,  urging  co-operation  of  the  schools  in  the  campaign  and  presenting 
the  plans  for  a  contest  in  the  schools  in  foiur-minute  speeches  and  posters,  for  which  a  diploma 
was  issued  by  the  Seventh  Federal  Reserve  District  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  to  be 
awarded  to  the  high  school,  graded  school,  private  or  parochial  school,  winning  first  place. 
As  there  were  many  requests  for  diplomas  for  class  and  individual  school  contests,  the  Wiscon- 
sin Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  issued  another,  smaller  diploma  for  this  purpose  and  a 
very  large  number  was  awarded. 

A  Woman's  Speaking  Bureau  was  established  in  each  county;  especial  attention  being 
paid  to  talks  in  moving  picture  houses.  In  Richland  County  the  Woman's  Committee  con- 
ducted the  speaking  campaign  for  both  the  men  and  the  women.  Community  and  chorus 
singing  were  arranged  for  in  every  county. 

The  Wisconsin  editors  gave  the  Woman's  Committee  work  three  times  the  space  devoted 
to  it  in  the  previous  campaign. 

In  Brown  County  a  circular  letter  was  sent  to  all  teachers  in  the  County  suggesting  that 
the  week  before  Liberty  Day  be  devoted  to  the  study  of  the  Allied  Nations,  and  that  it  be  known 
as  Allies  Week,  the  countries  to  be  studied  in  the  order  of  their  entrance  into  the  war:  Monday, 
Belgium  and  Serbia;  Tuesday,  France;  Wednesday,  Great  Britain;  Thursday,  Italy;  Friday, 
United  States.     Topics  to  be  studied  in  connection  with  each  country  were  as  follows: 

1.  Date  of  entrance  into  war  and  reasons.       4.  Famous  leaders. 

2.  Military  record.  5.  Uniform,  Flag,  etc. 

3.  What  part  played  and  how  affected.  6.  Method  of  subscribing  War  Loans. 

The  National  League  for  Woman's  Service  secured  subscriptions  for  3633,450  worth  of 
Liberty  Bonds. 

1,300  cities  and  townships  in  the  state  are  organized  by  the  Woman's  Committee.

Gleanings  from  the  Campaign: 

Upon  the  man  chairman  of  the  city  of  Green  River  going  to  war,  the  Woman's  Liberty 
Loan  Committee  chairman,  Mrs.  Chris  Weachter,  was  left  with  entire  charge  of  the  Liberty 
Loan  work.  With  a  quota  of  350,000  and  a  population  of  1500,  the  women  raised  3129,000 
Natrona  County,  Mrs.  C.  E.  Winter,  chairman,  leads  the  other  counties  of  the  state.  With 
a  quota  of  3753,250  the  women  raised  3667,450  with  2304  subscriptions,  of  which  1500  were  350 
Bonds  and  800  were  3100  Bonds. 

The  method  of  reaching  agricultural  population  was  by  chairmen  taking  their  own  auto- 
mobiles and  spending  days  going  from  one  place  to  another,  often  fifty  and  sixty  miles  apart. 
In  many  rural  districts,  women  not  owning  cars  went  on  horseback.  One  woman  told  of  long, 
lonely  rides  through  the  mountains  to  sell  Bonds.  Another  rode  66  miles  on  horseback  to  get 
subscriptions  from  seven  families.  Another  woman  wrote  that  she  had  been  deserted  by  her 
German  husband  who  left  her  with  a  farm  and  five  children  to  care  for.  She  took  care  of  the 
family  and  farm  alone,  and  as  soon  as  she  harvested  her  crops,  she  took  her  horse  and  visited 
all  families  within  reach  getting  subscriptions  for  the  Loan. 

The  University  of  Wyoming  subscribed  350,000  through  the  Woman's  Committee,  through 
the  President  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  Mrs.  E.  T.  David. 
Recommendations  from  Wyoming  Chairman: 

"That  fewer  speakers  be  sent  to  large  cities  and  more  speakers  be  sent  to  isolated  towns  of 
two  and  three  hundred  population.  The  little  town  of  Pinedale,  which  I  have  in  mind,  in  Fremont 
County,  is  105  miles  from  the  railroad  and  people  there  are  eager  to  hear  speakers,  and  would 
come  from  miles  around  to  attend  a  meeting.  The  truth  is  that  the  speakers  themselves  want 
large  audiences,  whereas,  the  time  spent  in  country  districts  would  give  better  results." 

Another  suggestion;  "To  make  all  women  who  have  helped  in  the  Fourth  Loan  feel  it  their 
duty  to  continue  this  war  work  as  long  as  the  Government  needs  their  work,  even  though  the 
armistice  has  been  signed." 


Report  of  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  29 

PRINTING  AND  DISTRIBUTION 

National  Woman  s  Liberty  Loan  Committee 

Fourth  Liberty  Loan  Campaign 

In  accordance  with  the  action  of  the  Executive  Committee,  all  printing  for  the  National 
Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  in  the  fourth  campaign  was  done  in  Chicago,  because  of  its 
facilities  for  prompt  and  adequate  service  and  because  of  its  excellent  location  as  a  distributing 
center.  Mrs.  Bass  and  Mrs.  Fairbank  were  authorized  by  the  Treasury  Department  to  open 
headquarters  in  Chicago  to  carry  on  this  work.  An  office  was  opened  on  August  5th,  with  neces- 
sary clerical  help,  and  continued  until  the  close  of  the  campaign  on  October  19th. 

As  the  printing  for  a  division  of  the  Treasury  Department  carried  on  away  from  Washington 
was  a  new  departure,  it  was  necessary  to  comply  with  certain  definite  instructions  from  the 
Treasury  Department  as  to  the  actual  conduct  of  the  work.  Circulars  asking  for  bids  on  each 
item  to  be  printed  were  sent  to  the  best  printing  firms  in  the  city.  These  bids  were  then  acted 
upon  by  the  Committee,  and  the  contract  awarded  on  the  basis  of  price,  quality  of  stock,  known 
capacity  of  the  plant,  and  ability  to  make  deliveries  promptly.  The  three  companies  among 
which  the  contracts  were  distributed  rendered  excellent  service. 

Questionnaires  asking  for  estimates  of  the  quantities  of  the  various  pieces  of  material  it 
was  proposed  to  issue  were  sent  to  each  State  and  Federal  Reserve  Chairman,  together  with  a 
letter  explaining  the  plan  of  distribution.  In  those  instances  where  there  was  delay  in  sending 
in  the  questionnaires  or  where  for  some  reason  they  were  not  returned  at  all,  it  was  necessary 
for  the  committee  to  make  up  the  estimate. 

A  new  method  of  distribution  was  adopted  for  the  Fourth  Loan;  an  original  shipment  of 
each  item  was  made  directly  to  State  Chairmen,  and  a  reserve  supply  placed  with  the  Federal 
Reserve  Chairmen  to  cover  additional  requirements  of  the  State  Chairmen  during  the  campaign. 
In  this  way  the  rush  orders  of  the  State  Chairmen  were  handled  more  promptly  and  efficiently 
than  by  the  old  method  of  maintaining  a  general  distribution  headquarters  for  the  whole  country. 

An  arrangement  was  made  with  the  printing  firms,  whereby  they  performed  all  the  work  of 
wrapping,  packing  and  shipping  the  material  printed  by  them,  thus  obviating  the  necessity  of 
distribution  headquarters.  A  list  of  the  quantities  of  each  item  to  be  shipped  the  State  Chairmen 
was  sent  the  contracting  firms,  and  from  this  they  made  out  the  government  bills  of  lading  which 
were  duly  OK'd  by  the  representative  of  the  Office  of  Collector  of  Customs  and  certificates  of 
delivery  issued  by  him. 

The  use  of  a  "Record  of  Shipment"  blank,  furnished  a  check  on  the  shipments  made  each 
day  by  the  various  printing  firms,  and  also  on  the  receipt  of  each  shipment  by  the  State  Chair- 
men. A  table  has  been  compiled  from  the  returned  blanks  showing  the  length  of  time  required 
for  the  various  shipments  to  the  forty-eight  states  and  to  Alaska. 

All  the  general  Liberty  Loan  advertising  and  publicity  material  issued  by  the  National 
Publicity  Bureau  was  sent  direct  to  the  twelve  Federal  Reserve  District  Liberty  Loan  Committees. 
The  Executive  Cornmittees  in  the  various  districts  were  notified  by  Mr.  Wilson,  Director  of  the 
Publicity  Bureau  in  the  Treasury  Department,  Washington,  to  "instruct  their  subordinate 
committees  to  make  a  liberal  supply  of  all  literature  and  other  material  requested  by  women 
Liberty  Loan  Committees."  Mr.  Wilson  also  suggested  that  he  believed  it  would  be  "advantage- 
ous to  assign  certain  items  of  publicity  material  upon  which  the  women  might  specialize  in  their 
distribution,  wherever  practicable."  Where  full  co-operation  existed  between  the  man  and 
woman  State  Chairmen,  it  was  possible  for  the  latter  to  turn  over  her  list  of  county  and  district 
chairrnen  to  the  men's  committee,  who  would  simply  send  out  all  advertising  and  publicity 
material  to  the  women  at  the  same  time  that  it  was  sent  to  the  men's  organization.  This  appears 
to  be  the  most  satisfactory  arrangement  which  has  been  adopted  and  will  be  recommended  for 
general  adoption  in  the  Fifth  Loan. 

In  accordance  with  the  policy  of  the  National  Committee  to  co-operate  with  the  War 
Industries  Board  and  save  paper  and  labor,  one  form  of  letterhead  only  was  issued,  which  did 
not  carry  any  special  office  designation,  and  therefore  was  suitable  for  general  use,  and  franked 
post  cards  were  sent  out  to  Chairmen  with  instructions  to  use  them  for  short  communications. 

A  "Certificate  of  Appointment"  signed  by  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury,  and  by  Mrs.  Bass, 
as  Secretary  of  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee,  was  issued  to  State  Chairmen 
to  send  their  county  and  district  chairmen.  In  addition  little  "credential  cards"  were  printed 
for  the  use  of  all  local  chairmen  to  serve  as  a  means  of  identification  in  their  work.  A  "Record 
of  Subscription"  blank  was  issued,  which  was  designed  to  serve  both  as  a  receipt  from  the  local 
men's  committee  for  the  subscriptions  turned  in  daily  by  the  woman's  committee,  and  also  as 
a  record  for  the  women's  work. 

Three  sets  of  cards,  a  different  form  for  State,  City  and  County  Chairmen,  were  sent  out 
for  use  in  reporting  subscriptions  taken  by  Women's  Committees.  These  report  blanks  were 
printed  on  franked  post  cards,  and  arranged  so  that  each  week  of  the  drive  might  be  reported 
separately,  with  a  minimum  of  work  to  reporting  chairmen. 


30 Report  of  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee 

Only  three  pieces  of  literature  were  issued  for  the  Fourth  campaign — the  Information  Folder, 
the  "First  Service  Star"  folder,  and  the  Report  of  the  Third  Loan.  The  Central  Liberty  Loan 
Committee  (men's)  of  the  Eighth  Federal  Reserve  District  asked  for  ten  thousand  copies  of  the 
Information  Folder,  compiled  by  Mrs.  Fairbank  and  Mrs.  Bass,  for  distribution  through  their 
organization.  The  little  folder  called  the  "First  Service  Star"  was  originally  printed  in  the 
Seventh  Federal  Reserve  District  in  the  Third  Campaign,  where  it  was  used  most  effectively. 
As  in  previous  campaigns,  the  Report  of  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  was 
compiled  by  Mrs.  Fairbank. 

The  thanks  of  the  National  Committee  are  due  to  the  Liberty  Loan  Committee  of  the 
Seventh  Federal  Reserve  district,  under  the  personal  direction  of  Mr.  Merritt,  for  their  assistance 
in  securing  offices  for  this  work,  the  loaning  of  all  necessary  items  of  equipment,  and  the  use  of 
their  office  facilities.  Miss  Dixon,  Federal  Reserve  Chairman  for  Women,  was  also  of  great 
service  to  this  work  of  the  National  Committee.

National  Conference  of  the  National  Woman's 
Liberty  Loan  Committee 

On  July  16th,  17th,  and  18th,  1918,  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  called 
a  conference  of  all  Federal  Reserve  and  State  Chairmen,  to  discuss  the  problems  of  the  Fourth 
Loan. 

Eleven  Federal  Reserve  Chairmen  and  ii  State  Chairmen,  or  their  representatives,  attended 
this  conference. 

It  was  in  session  for  three  days;  the  fullest  discussion  prevailed,  and  the  varied  problems 
of  Chairmen  from  widely  separated  states  were  brought  before  it.  The  attendance  was  large,  as 
many  Vice  Chairmen  and  Publicity  Chairmen  came  on  their  own  initiative. 


We  Beg  Your  Pardon! 


Washington:  The  amount  of  money  credited  to  the  Woman's  Committee  in  the  Report  of  the 
Third  Loan  was  incorrectly  given  as  31,182,000.  The  amount  raised  by  this  committee 
in  the  Third  Loan  was  32,474,300. 

First  Federal  Reserve  District:  The  Third  Report  omitted  to  state  the  fact  that  in  New  England 
the  Woman's  Committee  took  no  corporation  subscriptions. 

Maine:  The  Third  Report  made  a  mistake  on  quota.  Woman's  percentage  should  be  10% 
instead  of  16%  as  credited. 

Wyoming:  Woman's  Committee  for  Third  Loan  in  Wyoming  reached  32,314,500.  (Was  cred- 
ited with  32,230,650.) 

Ohio:    In  Third  Campaign  Cincinnati's  subscriptions  were  20%  not  11%  of  quota. 

In  Cincinnati  and  Cleveland  house-to-house  canvassing  was  carried  on  by  men  and  women 
but  not  so  stated  in  report. 

Georgia:  Third  Report  gave  Georgia  311,679,530.  It  should  have  been  38,452,650.  Full 
report  reached  headquarters  after  report  went  to  press.

THE  MEMBERS  OF  THE  NATIONAL  WOMAN'S  LIBERTY  LOAN  COM- 
MITTEE AT  THE  CLOSE  OF  ITS  WORK. 

Office  of  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury, 

Washington,  July  9,  1919. 

As  the  close  of  the  work  of  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan 
Committee  approaches  I  desire  to  express  to  you  as  a  member  of  that 
committee  the  Treasury's  deep  and  sincere  appreciation  of  its  invalu- 
able service  to  the  Nation  and  the  Government's  program  of  war 
finance.  You  assisted  in  immeasurable  degree  in  mobilizing  the  wom- 
anhood of  the  United  States  and  in  helping  the  mothers,  wives,  and 
sisters  of  the  heroic  sons  of  America  who  went  to  France  for  the  sake 
of  the  liberty  of  their  country  and  of  mankind  to  understand  the 
purposes  of  the  war  and  the  needs  of  the  Government  to  prosecute 
it  to  a  successful  conclusion.  The  organization  which  the  committee 
perfected  was  a  splendid  tribute  to  its  intelligent  leadership,  and  the 
Treasury  is  very  proud  of  the  results  achieved  both  in  arousing  the 
sentiment  of  the  people  and  in  subscriptions  to  the  securities  of  the 
Government.  No  words  of  mine  will  adequately  compensate  for 
tasks  so  well  and  unselfishly  performed,  but  in  the  years  to  come  it 
will  be  a  comforting  satisfaction  to  you  always  to  reahze  that  you 
served  your  country  with  devotion  and  patriotism  in  the  greatest 
crisis  of  her  history  and  contributed  your  share  in  no  small  measure 
to  the  success  of  the  war. 

It  is  my  privilege  and  honor  to  extend  to  the  members  of  the  com- 
mittee and  its  entire  organization  the  sincere  congratulations  and 
grateful  thanks  of  the  Treasury. 

With  assurances  of  my  best  wishes  and  high  regard,  I  am. 
Sincerely,  yours. 

Carter  Glass.

THE  NATIONAL  WOMAN'S  LIBERTY  LOAN  COMMITTEE, 

By  Hon.  W.  G.  McAdoo. 
[Taken  from  tlie  report  of  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  for  the  year  1918.] 

One  of  the  most  notable  factors  in  the  success  of  the  Liberty  loans 
lias  been  the  work  of  the  women  of  the  United  States.  It  was  with 
the  belief  that  the  women  of  the  Nation  would  constitute  a  powerful 
moral  force  in  war  finance  that  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan 
Committee  was  appointed  by  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  in  May, 
1917.  That  they,  working  through  the  organization  effected  by  this 
agency,  have  not  only  accompHshed  this  purpose,  but  have  also  be- 
come an  essential  element  in  the  actual  labors  of  promoting  the  loans, 
constitutes  one  of  the  most  interesting  chapters  in  the  financing  of  the 
war.  There  is  probably  no  war  service  in  which  so  many  women 
have  taken  more  active  part  than  in  the  raising  of  money  to  pa}^  our 
war  burden.  To  their  energy,  their  enthusiasm,  their  zeal,  and  their 
vision  is  due  a  great  part  of  the  success  of  the  Liberty  loans. 

When  the  United  States  went  into  war  with  Germany  the  business 
of  bond  selling  was  a  field  so  new  to  women  that  all  work  within  it 
has  been  genuine  pioneering.  The  organization  of  women  for  the 
task  has  been  the  work  of  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Com- 
mittee, which  has  served  in  cooperation  with  the  Treasury's  war-loan 
organization.  The  members  of  this  committee,  serving  as  volunteers, 
have  performed  the  work  of  enlisting  more  than  a  half  million  women 
as  sellers  of  Liberty  bonds. 

The  first  labors  of  the  members  of  the  committee,  after  the  closing 
of  the  first  Liberty  loan  where  their  work  had  been  general  publicity 
of  war  finance  among  women,  were  concerned  with  the  adjustment 
of  established  organizations  of  women  throughout  the  country  to  the 
established  machinery  for  the  raising  of  the  loans.  Where  organiza- 
tion existed,  the  women  of  the  Nation  were  organized  by  States, 
while  the  Treasury's  loan  organization  was  based  upon  the  12  fiscal 
divisions  of  the  United  States.  It  was  the  problem  of  the  com- 
mittee to  correlate  the  two  schemes  of  organization.  They  solved  it 
by  the  appointment  of  both  State  and  Federal  reserve  chairmen,  the 
former  responsible  for  actual  organization  of  women  in  their  respec- 
tive States,  the  latter  serving  as  the  representatives  of  the  women  in 
dealing  with  the  Liberty  loan  committees  of  the  respective  Federal 
reserve  districts.  Liberty  loan  committees  elected  the  women  Fed- 
eral reserve  chairmen  members  of  their  executive  committees. 

In  this  organization  during  the  second  Liberty  loan  60,000  women 
became  sellers  of  bonds.     Reports  of  the  women  State  chairmen,  and 

(VI) 


vn 

of  the  executive  committees  of  the  Federal  reserve  districts,  indicate 
that  the  woman's  organization  obtained  subscriptions  for 
$1,000,000,000  of  the  second  loan.  In  the  third  loan  500,000  women 
were  enrolled  as  members  of  the  organization,  which  had  a  woman 
chairman  in  almost  every  county  of  the  United  States,  and  township 
officers  in  almost  every  township.  In  the  third  loan  the  women  were 
again  credited  with  having  been  the  seUing  agents  of  more  than  a 
billion  doUars  in  bonds.  In  the  fourth  loan  between  seven  and  eight 
hundred  thousand  women  served,  but  it  is  not  possible  at  this  time  to 
make  an  estimate  of  the  amount  of  bond  sales  attributable  to  the 
woman's  organization. 

I  No  mere  recital  of  results  achieved  can  show  the  extent  of  the  serv- 
ice  which  women  have  given  to  the  Nation  through  their  partici- 
pation in  war  finance.  That  hundreds  of  thousands  of  women 
assumed  the  burden  of  a  new  kind  of  labor,  not  for  themselves  but  for 
their  country,  is  one  of  the  most  striking  and  characteristic  facts  in 
relation  to  the  women  of  America  that  the  war  has  developed.  The 
Liberty  loans  have  afforded  a  new  proving  ground  where  the  women 
of  the  Nation  have  accepted  the  opportunity  to  demonstrate  again 
their  patriotism,  their  abihty,  their  consciousness  of  the  obhgations  of 

[.  citizenship,  and  their  steadfastness  of  soul  in  the  great  and  terrible 
crisis  which  our  country  has  met. 


WHAT  AMERICAN  WOMEN  HAVE  DONE  FOR  THE  LIBERTY  LOANS. 

The  women  of  America  have  demonstrated  extraordinary  power 
and  capacity  in  connection  with  the  financial  operations  of  the  Gov- 
ernment.    Their  work  has  been  of  the  highest  value. 

The  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  has  brought  into 
existence  an  organization  of  women  throughout  the  country  which  is 
one  of  the  most  important  factors  in  the  success  of  Liberty  loans. 

I  am  deeply  grateful  for  the  splendid  support  American  women 
have  given  to  the  Treasury  and  to  aU  war  activities.  The  increasing 
demands  of  the  war  will  make  their  work  more  and  more  important. 
Their  continued  enthusiastic  and  spirited  cooperation  strengthens  my 
confidence  in  the  success  of  the  Treasury's  future  financial  under- 
takings.

REPORT   OF   THE   NATIONAL   WOMAN'S   LIBERTY 

LOAN  COMMITTEE  FOR  THE  VICTORY  LOAN 

CAMPAIGN. 


This  last  report  issued  by  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan 
Committee  for  the  Victory  Loan  Campaign  differs  from  previous 
reports  where  space  was  given  to  material  which  might  be  valuable- 
for  use  in  a  forthcoming  campaign.  As  there  is  now  no  longer  any 
value  in  detail  that  may  be  inspirational  to  future  work,  the  National 
Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  has  endeavored,  in  this  report, 
to  suggest  as  briefly  as  possible  the  field  covered  by  women  in  the 
loan  campaigns,  and  the  success  which  has  crowned  their  efforts. 

The  victory  loan  had  an  especial  appeal  for  women,  and  possibly 
for  that  reason  the  campaign  was  conducted  with  a  finer  spirit  and 
with  more  enthusiasm  than  that  of  any  previous  loans.  Women, 
necessarily  noncombatants  in  the  great  struggle  for  freedom,  were 
animated,  even  more  than  men,  by  thanksgiving  that  the  war 
and  its  attendant  sacrifices  were  over.  No  effort  seemed  too  great 
in  selling  the  bond  issue  which  was  to  ''finish  the  job." 

It  is  the  history  of  the  woman's  organization  for  the  Victory  loan, 
In  State  after  State,  that  practically  all  the  chairmen  serving  in  the 
fourth  loan  reenlisted  eagerly  for  service  in  the  fifth,  and  that  the 
amount  of  money  subscribed  thi-ough  the  women's  committee  was 
often  greater  in  the  fifth  than  in  the  fourth,  in  spite  of  the  decreased 
quotas. 

More  than  a  million  women  were  members  of  the  National  Woman's 
Liberty  Loan  Committee  organization  in  the  United  States  in  the 
fourth  and  fifth  campaigns.  When  the  war  began  many  of  these 
women  knew  nothing  whatever  of  investments  of  any  kind.  To-day 
they  have  not  only  succeeded  in  selling  over  one-fourth  of  the  second, 
third,  fourth,  and  fifth  loans,  but  they  have  been  an  important  factor 
in  the  education  for  thrift,  which  has  been  a  by-product  of  the  bond 
sales.  Owing  to  educational  campaigns  conducted  by  the  woman's 
committee,  saving,  in  order  to  invest  for  the  future,  has  become  a 
part  of  the  calculations  of  the  conscientious  American  housewife. 

The  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  realizes  that  the 
phenomenal  success  which  has  crowned  the  work  of  women  in  Treasury 
service  is  due  in  a  great  measiu^e  to  those  who  will  never  receive 
the  credit  due  them.  In  this  report  an  endeavor  has  been  made 
to  point  out  the  personal  sacrifices  of  the  local  chairman  all  over

the  country,  but  it  is  not  possible  to  do  this  adequately  in  so  brief  a 
statement.  It  is,  however,  not  only  because  of  the  self-sacrifice  and 
devotion,  the  patriotism,  and  the  passionate  will  to  serve,  on  the  part 
of  the  members  of  the  complicated  and  wide-flung  women's  organiza- 
tion, that  we  are  able  to  make  the  statement  in  this  final  report  that  the 
woman's  Liberty  loan  organization  has  made  a  significant  contribution 
to  the  wanning  of  the  war;  it  is  also  because  they  were  given  a  great 
opportunity  that  they  won  a  commensurate  success.  It  was  through 
the  vision  and  the  faith  in  the  capacity  of  women  of  the  honorable 
the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury,  Mr.  William  Gibbs  McAdoo,  that  the 
opportunity  to  do  so  large  a  piece  of  work  was  given  to  the  women  of 
the  United  States. 

In  the  beginning  of  the  war  Secretary  McAdoo  called  the  mem- 
bers of  his  National  Woman's  Committee  to  Washington  and  gave 
them  full  powers  to  act.  Rooms  in  the  Treasury  Building  were  put 
at  their  disposal ;  franking  privileges  in  the  mails  and  in  the  telegraph 
companies  were  given  to  them  for  the  use  of  their  whole  organization; 
they  were  instructed  to  make  their  own  budget,  on  which  an  appro- 
priation, necessary  to  the  expenses  of  their  work,  was  granted  them. 
No  committee  of  men  or  women  enlisted  in  war  service  could  have 
been  invested  with  greater  authority  and  independence,  and  the 
members  of  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  will 
always  retain  a  feeling  of  gratitude  and  appreciation  of  the  privilege 
which  was  theirs  in  being  allowed  to  work  on  a  committee,  which,  for 
the  first  time  in  the  history  of  the  United  States,  adequately  recog- 
nized the  ability  of  women,  and  entrusted  them  with  great  responsi- 
bilities. 

It  is  interesting  to  note  that  practically  every  report  from  State 
chairmen  serving  in  the  Liberty  Loan  Committee  organization  states 
the  fact  that  in  the  fifth  campaign  the  men's  committee  called  upon 
the  women  to  undertake  a  larger  part  of  the  responsibility  of  the 
campaign,  and  gave  them  generous  cooperation,  and  sometimes  too 
generous  an  appreciation,  for  the  work  that  they  had  done.  This 
was  not  the  situation  in  the  second  or  third  campaigns;  at  that  time 
the  tendency  of  the  men's  committee  was  to  underestimate  the 
ability  of  women,  and  to  protest  the  fact  that  they  had  been  authorized 
to  work  independently  for  the  sale  of  Liberty  bonds,  and,  again,  had 
it  not  been  for  the  constant  support  of  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury, 
the  woman's  committee  might,  in  the  various  Federal  reserve 
districts,  have  been  seriously  handicapped  by  the  men's  committees. 
It  was  only  through  his  powerful  protection  that  the  women  were 
enabled  to  continue  their  work  until  they  had  convinced  the  men 
in  the  loan  organizations  a^l  over  the  country  that  they  had  not 
only  a  right  to  continue  in  the  field  but  also  that  it  would  have  been 
impossible  for  the  men  to  have  sold  the  quota  alone. 


'•  At  the  end  of  the  last  loan  the  members  of  the  National  Woman's 
Liberty  Loan  Committee,  thoroughly  familiar  as  they  were  with  the 
local  situations  between  the  two  committees  in  every  reserve  bank 
district,  feel  assiu^ed  that  one  result  of  the  association  of  the  past 
two  years  is  an  increased  appreciation  on  the  part  of  both  men  and 
women  of  the  other's  work,  an  inclination  to  join  forces  rather  than 
to  work  for  the  same  goal  in  separate  camps,  and  a  readiness  to- 
gether to  answer  the  call  for  patriotic  service  in  the  future,  should 
the  occasion  arise. 

The  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee,  in  closing  this 
statement  accompanying  its  final  report,  wishes  to  offer  its  most 
sincere  gratitude  and  appreciation  to  the  honorable  the  Secretary 
of  the  Treasury,  Mr.  Carter  H.  Glass.  He  has  continued  the  policy 
adopted  toward  the  woman's  conmiittee  since  its  inception,  and  his 
support  of  and  trust  in  its  policies  has  been  a  stimulating  and  de- 
lightful thing  to  those  who  have  come  in  touch  with  it.  It  has  been 
a  great  pleasure  and  privilege  to  work  under  his  leadership,  and  it  is  a 
keen  regret  to  the  members  of  the  national  committee  that  the  time 
has  come  when  their  services  are  no  longer  required  by  him. 

The  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  also  takes  this 
opportunity  of  expressing  its  deep  appreciation  of  the  courteous 
assistance  rendered  to  th3  women  of  its  organization  by  the  governors 
of  the  Federal  reserve  banks,  and  by  tha  chairmen  of  ths  various 
local  men's  committees.  Finally  the  members  of  the  National 
Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Conunittee  wish  to  express  a  deep  and  affec- 
tionate appreciation  of  the  work  of  the  members  of  the  woman's 
Liberty  loan  organization,  whose  struggles  they  have  appreciated, 
whose  self-sacrifice  they  have  admired,  and  in  whose  success  they 
have  rejoiced.  The  12  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  chairmen 
of  the  Federal  reserve  districts,  who  rendered  faithful  service  as 
,  liaison  officers  between  the  men's  and  women's  committees,  the 
I  48  State  chairmen  and  the  chairman  of  the  District  of  Columbia, 
whose  devotion  and  zeal  never  faltered  even  where  organization  was 
perfected  and  when  quotas  were  passed,  the  county  and  township 
chairmen,  surmounting  rural  problems  of  wide  difetances  and  bad 
roads,  and  the  city  chairmen,  driving  through  tangles  of  municipal 
complications,  each  deserve  an  especial  appreciation. 

To  those  members  of  the  national  committee  who  have  been  most 
closely  in  touch  with  the  Liberty  loan  work,  the  bond  established  is 
too  strong  a  one  to  be  broken  by  mere  dissolving  of  a  committee. 
Through  close  association  with  these  loyal  women  of  the  United 
States  has  come  a  greater  belief  in  the  patriotism  of  the  American 
people,  and  an  abiding  faith  in  the  United  States  of  America. — J.  A.  F.

FIRST  FEDERAL  RESERVE  DISTRICT. 

(Maine,  New  Hampshire,  Vermont,  Rhode  Island,  Massachusetts,  Connecticut.) 

Mrs.  F.  L.  HiGGiNSON,  95  Milk  Street,  Boston,  Mass.,  Wonmn's  Liberty  Loan  Com- 
mittee Federal  Reserve  Chairman. 

Owing  to  illness  in  her  family,  the  Federal  reserve  chairman  was 
imable  to  visit  each  State  in  her  district  as  she  had  in  other  cam- 
paigns, but  the  first  district  is  small  in  territory  and  the  inspirational 
value  of  the  reserve  chairman's  office  in  Boston  was  great. 

There  were  no  reserve  district  conferences;  State  conferences  were 
held  in  Vermont,  Massachusetts,  Rhode  Island,  and  New  Hampshire. 
Mrs.  Antoinette  Funk  attended  these  conferences,  representing  the 
National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee.  No  State  conferences 
were  held  in  Connecticut  or  Maine. 

The  New  England  States  reported  a  larger  percentage  of  the  quota 
raised  in  the  fifth  loan  than  in  any  previous  loan.  Following  is  a 
comparative  summary  of  subscriptions  taken  through  the  Woman's 
Liberty  Loan  Committee  in  the  five  loans.

SECOND  FEDERAL  RESERVE  DISTRICT. 

(New  York,  12  counties  of  New  Jersey,  1  county  of  Connecticut.) 

Mrs.  John  T.  Pratt,  120  Broadway,  New  York  City,  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Com 
mittee  Federal  Reserve  Chairman. 

It  is  interesting  to  note  that  the  woman's  organization  in  the  second 
<listrict  has  increased  in  size  steadily  and  the  amounts  raised  in  rela- 
tion to  the  district  quotas  have  increased  proportionately.  The 
National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  appointed  Miss  Ida 
Furman,  chairman  of  the  second  district,  for  the  first  loan,  but,  as 
her  appointment  did  not  come  until  after  the  loan  had  begun,  she 
had  time  only  to  form  a  committee  of  women  to  work  in  New  York 
City.  This  work  was  largely  done  by  the  New  York  Suffrage 
Association. 

Before  the  second  loan  Mrs.  John  T.  Pratt  had  taken  over  the  work 
of  the  second  district.  At  the  end  of  the  second  campaign  there 
were  about  5,000  women  in  her  organization,  and  before  the  third 
campaign  a  systematic  effort  was  made  to  form  a  committee  of  women 
in  every  \)ity,  town,  and  community  where  bonds  were  to  be  sold. 
In  each  campaign  the  efficiency  of  this  organization  increased  until  in 
the  fifth  campaign  there  were  1,790  committees  in  the  second  district, 
with  50,000  women  enlisted  in  them.  In  this  connection  it  is  inter- 
esting to  note  that  of  the  chairmen  and  committee  members  ap- 
pointed at  the  beginning  of  the  second  loan,  36  served  as  county 
chairmen  throughout  the  third,  fourth,  and  fifth  loans,  and  46  of 
the  county  chairmen  appointed  for  the  fifth  loan  have  served  ever 
since  that  office  was  created  previous  to  the  third  campaign. 

On  March  10  a  Federal  reserve  district  conference  of  county  chair- 
men was  held  at  the  residence  of  Mrs.  Pratt,  7  East  Sixtieth  Street. 
The  meeting,  presided  over  by  Mrs.  Pratt,  was  addressed  by  Dr. 
George  Vincent,  head  of  Rockefeller  Foundation,  Gov.  Benjamin 
Strong,  of  the  Second  Federal  Reserve  Bank,  and  Mrs.  Kellogg 
Fairbank,  representing  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Com- 
mittee. 

Owing  to  the  fact  that  the  second  district  is  almost  entirely  com- 
posed of  New  York  State,  Mrs.  Pratt  combined  the  offices  of  Federal 
reserve  and  State  chairmen.  In  this  capacity  she  visited  many  of 
her  counties  and  was  a  constant  inspiration  to  the  women  working 
imder  her.

TfflRD  FEDERAL  RESERVE  DISTRICT. 

(Pennsylvania  (eastern),  40  counties;  Delaware;  New  Jersey  (southern),  9  counties.) 

Mrs.  Henry  D.  Jump,  Liberty  Building,  Philadelphia,  Pa.,  Woman's  Liberty  Loan 
Committee  Federal  Reserve  Chairman. 

The  majority  of  the  women  who  worked  in  the  third  and  fourth, 
loans  again  offered  their  services  to  support  the  Victory  loan.  The 
Federal  reserve  chairman  was  a  constant  inspiration  to  the  workers 
in  her  district,  particularly  those  in  the  city  of  Philadelphia,  where 
her  office  was  situated,  and  with  whom  she  kept  in  constant  touch,^ 
speaking  at  meetings  and  sharing  in  plans  of  campaign. 

No  Federal  reserve  district  conference  of  county  chairmen  was 
held,  but  the  counties  lying  in  each  State  had  separate  conferences^ 
each  of  which  was  attended  by  the  Federal  reserve  chairman,  and 
Mrs.  Jump  called  together,  in  Philadelphia,  the  State  chairmen  in 
her  district  for  a  conference,  which  was  attended  by  Mrs.  Antoinette 
Funk,  representing  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee

FOURTH  FEDERAL  RESERVE  DISTRICT. 

(Ohio;  Pennsylvania  (western),  19  counties;  Kentucky  (eastern),  56  counties;  West  Virginia,  6  counties.) 

Mrs.  Frank  Mulhauser,  508  Park  Building,  Cleveland,  Ohio,   Woman's  Liberty 
Loan  Committee  Federal  Reserve  Chairman. 

The  organization  for  the  Victory  loan  was  stronger  and  more 
effective  than  any  previous  campaign,  and  better  cooperation  be- 
tween the  men's  and  women's  committees  was  estabUshed. 

Mrs.  Mulhauser  had  in  previous  campaigns  combined  the  offices  of 
both  reserve  and  State  chairmen;  she  was  consequently  in  intimate 
touch  with  the  situation  in  Ohio,  and  was  therefore  in  position  to 
be  of  unusual  value  to  the  State  chairman  there;  and  as  the  moun- 
tain counties  in  Kentucky  interested  her  greatly,  she  was  always 
ready  to  assist  the  chairman  of  western  Kentucky  in  her  efforts  to 
organize  them.

(Virginia,  West  Virginia,  Maryland,  North  Carolina,  South  Carolina,  District  of  Columbia.) 

Mrs.  J.  Scott  Parrish,  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  Federal  Reserve  Chairman. 

While  Mrs.  Parrish  was  appointed  so  shortly  before  the  opening 
of  the  campaign  as  to  make  it  impossible  for  her  to  travel  extensively 
over  her  district,  nevertheless  she  established  a  cordial  and  inspiring 
relationship  with  the  State  chairmen  of  North  and  South  Carolina, 
Virginia,  West  Virginia,  Maryland,  and  the  District  of  Columbia. 

A  conference  of  the  six  State  chairmen  was  held  in  Richmond, 
at  which  the  reserve  chairman  for  women  presided,  and  plans  of 
campaign  were  discussed,  and  at  which  Mrs.  Antoinette  Funk  repre- 
sented the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee.

SIXTH  FEDERAL  RESERVE  DISTRICT. 

(Alabama;  Florida;  Georgia;  Louisiana,  38  parishes;  Mississippi,  43  counties;  Tennessee,  76  counties.)-' 

Mrs.  Samuel  Lumpkin,   Chamber  of  Commerce  Building,  Atlanta,  Ga.,   Woman's 
Liberty  Loan  Committee  Federal  Reserve  Chairman. 

The  reserve  chairman  traveled  extensively  over  her  territory, 
accompanying  the  men's  committee  on  a  tour  of  the  six  States.  She 
attended  ojie  conference  in  Tennessee,  three  zone  conferences  in 
Florida,  three  in  Alabama,  one  in  Arkansas,  one  in  Mississippi,  one 
in  Louisiana,  and  one  in  Georgia.  Mrs.  Kellogg  Fairbank  represented 
the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  at  conferences  in. 
Florida,  Alabama,  Mississippi,  and  Louisiana. 

Mrs.  Lumpkin  was  an  important  factor  in  the  woman's  campaign 
in  the  sixth  district.  She  gave  unsparingly  of  her  time  and  strength, 
and  her  speeches  throughout  the  campaign  proved  of  great  value.

SEVENTH  FEDERAL  RESERVE  DISTRICT. 

(Illinois,  58  counties;  Indiana,  68  counties;  Iowa;  Michigan,  68  counties;  Wisconsin,  45  counties.) 

Miss  Grace   Dixon,  105  West  Monroe  Street,  Chicago,  III.,  Woman^s  Liberty  Loan 
Committee  Federal  Reserve  Chairman. 

The  campaign  in  the  seventh  district  was  launched  at  a  conference 
of  men  and  women  held  in  Chicago  and  attended  by  1,500  Liberty 
loan  workers  from  the  five  States.  At  the  morning  conference 
addresses  were  made  by  Mrs.  George  Bass  and  Mrs.  Kellogg  Fairbank, 
of  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee,  Gen.  Leonard 
Wood,  Mr.  Arthur  Vandenberg,  and  Mr.  Lafayette  Young,  jr.  Mr. 
*Chas.  H.  Schweppe,  director  of  loans  in  the  seventh  district,  presided 
at  the  meeting.  In  the  afternoon  various  State  conferences  were 
held  where  the  Federal  reserve  chairman  for  women  spoke.  In 
the  evening  a  banquet  was  held  where  the  honorable  the  secretary  of 
the  Treasury,  Mr.  Carter  H.  Glass,  was  the  speaker. 

The  Federal  reserve  chairman  for  women  visited  each  State  in  her 
district  and  spoke  for  the  loan  at  innumerable  meetings.  Special 
literature  for  women  was  sent  out  in  the  seventh  district  by  the  reserve 
.chairman;  a  woman's  poster  was  issued,  drawn  by  Mrs.  Strohm, 
depicting  a  woman  adding  a  fifth  point  to  the  star  of  victory,  and  a 
playlet,  ''Lest  we  Forget,"  written  by  Miss  Helen  Bagg,  was  played 
in  the  greater  part  of  the  counties  in  the  seventh  district. 

A  new  departure  of  the  work  for  the  Federal  reserve  chairman  in 
the  fifth  loan  was  a  foreign-language  division,  under  the  guidance  of 
Mrs.  Edward  W.  Bemis,  which  gave  suggestions  to  the  State  chairmen 
regarding  Americanization  work  in  connection  with  the  Victory  loan, 
and  advised  them  how  to  handle  various  problems  which  arose  con- 
cerning the  foreign-born  population.  Literature  was  printed  in  six 
languages  and  distributed  through  the  chairmen;  pageants  especially 
planned  for  group  meetings  were  given  throughout  the  district. 

The  Federal  reserve  chairman  conducted  a  Victory  verse  contest, 
in  which  all  of  the  States  in  her  district,  except  Iowa,  participated. 
Silk  flags  were  awarded  to  the  winners  in  each  State. 

A  (district  speakers'  bureau  was  maintained  by  Mrs.  E.  H.  Taylor 
in  Chicago,  and  women  speakers  sent  to  aU"  important  meetings  in 
the  seventh  district. 

Notts  were  sold  on  the  individual  allotment  or  voluntary  plan  in 
the  majority  of  counties  in  the  seventh  district.  In  these  counties 
the  meri  agreed  that  the  women  should  receive  credit  for  50  per  cent 
x)f  the  itioney  subscribed  by  the  two  committees.

EIGHTH  FEDERAL  RESERVE  DISTRICT. 

(Arkansas;  niinois,  44  counties;  Indiana,  24  counties;  Kentucky,  64  counties;  Mississippi,  29  counties; 
Missouri,  95  counties;  Tennessee,  21  counties.) 

Mrs.  Theodore  Benoist,  210  North  Broadway,  St.  Louis,  Mo.,    Woman's  Liberty 
Loan  Committee  Federal  Reserve  Chairman. 

One  hundred  and  fifty  thousand  women  stood  ready  on  April  10 
to  begin  work  for  the  Victory  loan  in  the  eighth  district.  The  reserve 
chairman,  in  company  with  the  men's  organization,  made  a  tour  of 
the  field  in  advance  of  the  loan  and  reported  the  organization  100 
per  cent  ready. 

Never  before  were  there  so  many  special  features  in  the  eighth 
district.  The  tanks  were  sent  broadcast,  and  in  the  majority  of 
places  the  women  arranged  parades  and  meetings  in  connection 
with  them. 

Literature  sent  out  by  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Com- 
mittee was  delivered  in  a  house-to-house  canvass  throughout  the 
district,  as  well  as  at  patriotic  meetings,  and  the  woman's  poster 
was  in  great  demand,  especially  for  use  in  schools.  The  head  of 
the  public  schools  in  St.  Louis  said  that  of  all  the  posters,  the  women's 
poster  was  the  best  to  use,  as  it  told  a  story,  the  names  of  the  battles 
having  great  historic  value. 

In  January  a  meeting  of  men  and  women  State  chairmen  in  the 
eighth  district  was  called  in  St.  Louis  by  Mr.  L.  B.  Franklin,  Federal 
director  of  war  loans,  where  plans  of  campaign  and  forms  of  security 
were  discussed.  On  March  31a  meeting  was  again  held  in  St.  Louis 
of  the  men  and  women  State  chairmen  of  the  eighth  district,  where 
free  discussion  of  the  completed  plans  for  the  campaign  took  place, 
all  chairmen  taking  part.  In  Kentucky  the  men  and  women  had 
separate  conferences,  the  Federal  reserve  chairman  addressing  the 
men's  conference  in  regard  to  the  women's  work.  All  other  con- 
ferences in  the  eighth  district  were  joint  meetings  of  men  and  women; 
the  county  chairmen  of  Mississippi  and  Tennessee  at  Memphis,  of 
Arkansas  in  Little  Rock,  of  Missouri  and  southern  Illinois  in  St. 
Louis,  of  Indiana  in  Evansville.  The  reserve  chairman  for  women 
attended  each  of  these  conferences  and  addressed  the  meeting. 
Mrs.  Solon  Jacobs  represented  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan

Committee  at  the  Missouri  meeting,  and  Miss  Mary  Synon  at  the 
woman's  conference  in  Kentucky. 

In  addition  tb  the  publicity  agent  working  for  the  reserve  chair- 
man, each  State  chairman  had  her  own  publicity  chairman;  the 
result  was  that  the  woman's  committee  was  featured  daily  during 
the  campaign.  The  playlet  originating  in  the  seventh  district  was 
used  all  over  the  eighth  district  with  great  success.  School  children 
wrote  essays  on  the  Victory  loan,  and  German  helmets  were  offered 
by  the  reserve  chairman  as  prizes.  One  of  the  stunts  originated 
by  the  reserve  chairman  for  women  was  as  follows:  Aeroplanes  were 
used  all  over  the  district  and  created  great  interest  by  dropping 
literature,  among  which  was  an  order  for  a  German  helmet,  so  that 
everyone  read  the  literature  hoping  they  might  find  tucked  away  in 
it  somewhere  the  order,  and  thus  gain  for  themselves  the  coveted 
prize. 

In  many  counties  in  the  eighth  district  where  the  banks  took  over 
the  entire  quota,  the  women  have  pledged  themselves  to  resell  the 
notes  as  soon  as  crops  are  in. 

Previous  to  the  fifth  campaign,  Mrs.  Benoist  had  been  State 
chairman  of  Missouri.  On  the  retirement  of  Miss  Wade  from  the 
Federal  reserve  chairmanship,  Mrs.  Benoist  took  her  place.  Her 
familiarity  with  the  local  Missouri  conditions  made  her  of  unusual 
value  to  the  State  chairman  there,  and  she  was  of  great  inspiration 
to  the  women  working  for  the  loan  throughout  the  district.

NINTH  FEDERAL  RESERVE  DISTRICT. 

(Minnesota;  South  Dakota;  Montana;  North  Dakota;  Michigan,  15  counties;  Wisconsin,  26  counties.) 

Mrs.  C.  A.  Severance,  1512  Merchants  Bank  Building,  St.  Paul,  Minn.,  Federal 
Reserve  Chairman  for  Women. 

In  preparation  for  the  Victory  loan  in  the  ninth  district,  the  women 
held  123  special  meetings.  A  conference  was  held  in  Minneapolis 
for  the  men  and  women  county  chairmen  of  Michigan,  Wisconsin, 
North  and  South  Dakota,  and  Montana,  who  came  together  to  hear 
the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  speak.  They  were  also  addressed  by 
Mr.  Rogers,  Federal  director  of  loans  in  the  ninth  district,  and  the 
Federal  reserve  chairman  for  women. 


11 

In  preceding  loans  in  the  ninth  district  State  meetings  were  held, 
but  owing  to  the  vast  distances  to  be  covered  it  was  decided  in 
preparation  for  the  fifth  loan  to  hold  group  and  county  meetings, 
and  in  this  way  reach  more  of  the  town  and  country  workers.  These 
meetings  were,  for  the  most  part,  men's  and  women's  gatherings, 
with  speakers  divided  between  the  two  committees.  The  Federal 
reserve  chairman  for  women  covered  all  of  these  meetings  in  spite 
of  the  great  difficulties  in  transportation  in  some  of  the  States  in 
her  district.  Her  presence,  enthusiasm,  and  unflagging  support  of 
the  State  chairmen  brought  to  them  an  inspiration  which  carried 
them  through  many  difficulties. 

The  ninth  district  was  organized  entirely  on  the  allotment  system. 
No  bonds  whatever  were  sold  by  solicitation;  it  was  therefore  decided 
that  the  women  should  receive  a  credit  of  25  per  cent  of  the  money 
subscribed.  The  men  of  the  executive  committee  say  that  this  does 
not  represent  the  work  the  women  have  done  in  their  district,  but 
the  women  are  satisfied  that  it  is  about  the  per  cent  which  they 
would  have  raised.  We  quote  from  the  last  paragraph  of  Mrs.  Sever- 
ance's report: 

In  closiiig  this  work  we  wish  to  say  that  we  feel  we  have  received  much  more  than 
we  have  given.  The  thrill  and  value  of  the  large  meetings,  the  warm  new  acquaint- 
ances and  friendships,  the  unification  of  town  and  country  in  a  common  purpose  are 
some  of  the  valuable  products  of  these  activities.  We  have  achieved  democracy. 
We  have  learned  the  value  of  cooperation.  We  have  made  ourselves  into  a  reservoir 
of  force  which,  intact,  can  turn  the  machinery  of  each  county.  We  have  made  our- 
selves into  a  telegraph  system  connecting  Washington  with  each  remote  farmhouse. 
We  have  learned  to  work  with  men,  with  manly  and  businesslike  methods.  We 
have  learned  to  expect  an  adequate  return  for  our  labor.  We  have  achieved  a  world 
vision.  We  see  this  money  gathered  in  small  amounts  from  scattered  farms  and 
hamlets  growing  in  God's  hands  into  the  determining  power  of  peace  and  freedom 
to  a  war-weary  and  chaotic  world.

TWELFTH  FEDERAL  RESERVE  DISTRICT. 

(Washington;  Oregon;  California;  Nevada;  Idaho;  Utah;  Arizona,  9  counties.) 

Mrs.  A.  S.  Baldwin,  430  California  Street,  San  Francisco,  Calif.,  Federal  Reserve 

Chairman  for  Women. 


The  twelfth  Federal  Reserve  district  is  one  of  magnificent  dis- 
tances.    The  Federal  reserve  chairman  for  women  attended  and 


12 

spoke  at  conferences  in  Arizona,  California,  Nevada,  and  Idaho,  and 
during  the  campaign  went  to  Washington,  Utah,  and  Oregon  to 
speak  at  various  Victory  loan  meetings.  The  States  of  Oregon  and 
Washington  held  joint  conferences  of  the  men's  and  women's  com- 
mittees, but  as  the  Federal  reserve  chairman  for  women  spoke  in 
San  Francisco  at  the  California  conference,  which  was  held  on  the 
«ame  day,  she  was  unable  to  attend  these  conferences.  In  Nevada 
and  Arizona  the  men's  committee  did  not  caU  conferences,  but  the 
women  did,  and  the  Federal  reserve  chairman  attended  these  con- 
ferences and  spoke.  Mrs.  George  Bass  attended  the  conferences  in 
California  and  Arizona,  representing  the  National  Woman's  Liberty 
Loan  Committee. 

The  Federal  reserve  chairman  for  women  was  able  to  contribute 
greatly  to  the  success  of  the  Victory  campaign  in  California,  as  the 
State  chairman,  Mrs.  Brainerd,  lived  in  Los  Angeles,  in  the  extreme 
southern  end  of  the  State,  and  as  Mrs.  Baldwin,  at  San  Francisco,  the 
extreme  northern  end,  made  her  office  a  center  for  the  work  in  that  end 
of  the  State.  .  An  interesting  feature  of  her  work  was  the  courage 
and  initiative  she  showed  in  surmounting  difficulties  of  transportation 
and  distance  to  be  covered.  She  undertook  the  routing  of  speakers 
through  States  which  took  days  to  cross,  and  saw  to  it  that  the 
entire  district  was  furnished  with  literature  and  '^ publicity  stunts" 
of  various  kinds.

ham. Mrs.  McNeel  attended  these  conferences.  Mrs.  Jacobs  and 
Mrs.  Fairbank  also  attended,  representing  the  national  committee. 

The  executive  committee  of  the  sixth  Federal  reserve  district 
advised  that  the  men  and  women  work  on  a  50-50  basis,  and  in  some 
counties  this  was  done,  but  the  Alabama  woman's  committee  kept 
the  accurate  account  requested  by  the  National  Woman's  Liberty 
Loan  Committee. 

Committee  meetings  were  held  by  the  woman's  committee,  and 
especial  attention  was  given  to  publicity,  the  newspapers  of  the  State 
giving  splendid  inspiration. 

GLEANINGS  FROM  THE  CAMPAIGN. 

It  is  impossible  for  the  city  chairman  of  Birmingham  to  give  a 
separate  report.  No  quota  was  made  for  Birmingham  or  any  other 
Alabama  city  separate  fe*om  its  county.  As  well  as  could  be  esti- 
mated on  a  percentage  basis,  between  city  and  county  chairmen  of 
Birmingham  and  Jefferson  County,  Mrs.  Ledbetter,  the  city  chairman, 
raised  $2,208,500,  and  Mrs.  Conrad  H.  Ohme,  county  chairman,  raised 
$1,291,500.  In  the  county  of  Jefferson,  where  Birmingham  is  located, 
the  men  and  women  worked  on  a  50-50  basis. 

A  house-to-house  canvass  was  conducted  by  the  woman's  committee.

Bonds  were  sold  by  general  solicitation.  The  copper  mining  com- 
panies took  practically  no  share  of  this  loan.  Many  of  the  mines  were 
closed  down  and  all  operating  had  greatly  reduced  prices.  In  previous 
campaigns  these  corporations  were  generous  subscribers  and  thou- 
sands of  mining  employees  bought  to  a  man.  Realizing  this  unfavor- 
able condition,  the  woman's  committee  directed  its  energies  in  every 
county  to  strengthening  the  weakest  places,  looking  after  the  smaller 
and  out-of-the-way  places  where  often  the  men's  conmiittee  effected 
no  organization  whatever.  Women  also  paid  particular  attention  to 
propaganda  work  with  a  view  to  keeping  up  interest  and  enthusiasm, 
and  to  their  pamstaking,  unceasing  work  is  due,  in  large  amount,  the 
"success  of  the  Victory  loans  in  Arizona. 

A  conference  for  county  chairmen  of  the  Woman's  Liberty  Loan 
Committee  held  in  Phoenix  was  attended  by  Mrs.  George  Bass,  rep- 
resenting the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee^  and  Mrs. 
A.  S.  Baldwin,  Federal  reserve  chairman  for  womeu.

Grand  Canyon,  in  Coconino  County,  with  less  than  300  population, 
subscribed  $14,750.  This  was  one  of  the  places  where  men  worked 
under  the  woman's  committee. 

In  Globe,  Gila  County,  a  group  of  young  women  calling  themselves 
Victory  girls  got  up  a  unique  vaudeville  performance  which  was  given

in  a  decorated  truck  on  the  street,  at  which  they  sold  bonds  and 
auctioned  off  hebnets. 

In  Florence,  Pinal  County,  out  of  a  total  subscription  of  $44,400,

GLEANINGS    FROM   THE   CAMPAIGN. 

In  the  southern  half  of  Arkansas  County  the  men  had  no  organiza- 
tion, so  the  Federal  reserve  bank  gave  the  credit  of  all  the  work  done 
to  the  women's  organization.  The  men  were  busy  with  their  crops 
and  let  the  women  take  the  lead.

GLEANINGS  FROM  THE   CAMPAIGN. 

The  chairman  of  Kio  Blanco  Coxmty  aroused  her  town  to  fever 
heat  with  an  unusual  stunt.  The  night  before  the  drive  opened 
she  arose  in  the  dark  to  scatter  footprints,  made  from  cardboard, 
over  the  town.  These  steps  were  directed  toward  the  bank  and 
were  painted  bright  red.  Added  to  this,  she  put  up  signs  urging 
-everyone  to  ''hit  the  trail"  and,  when  morning  came,  they  did  as 
advised  and  the  district  was  one  of  the  first  in  the  State  to  report 
one-half  their  quota  raised.  The  largest  subscription  in  that  county 
was  taken  by  a  woman. 

Bent  Coxmty  reported  her  quota  raised  by  ''hard  work  and  per- 
suasion." A  Logan  Coxmty  woman  walked  10  miles  to  procxire 
one  $50  subscription.  In  Moffat  Coxmty,  a  coxmty  of  vast  mileage, 
the  women  conducted  "ranch-to-ranch  soliciting." 

There  were  many  difficidties  to  confront,  but  the  Lake  County 
women  were  not  daimted  because  there  was  a  complete  walkout  of 
all  of  the  miners,  upon  whom  they  were  depending  to  buy  bonds. 
They  started  their  drive  April  21,  as  planned.     Later  a  compromise 


19 

was  ejffected  with  the  miners,  but  through  it  all  the  women  con- 
tinued their  work  and,  the  men  now  say,  broke  the  ice  for  them,  and, 
besides  breaking  the  ice,  the  women  took  $77,350  in  subscriptions, 
and  sold  to  305  out  of  the  990  subscribers  in  the  county. 

It  was  the  pleasure  of  the  State  chairman  of  the  Woman's  Liberty 
Loan  Committee  to  christen  the  14,200-pound  baby  tank.  Little

* '  From  the  shores  of  Italy  to  a  little  village  in  Kent  County  came  a  youth  brimful  of 
healthy  patriotism  for  the  land  of  his  adoption.  Though  an  unnaturalized  citizen,  he 
enlisted,  crossed  the  seas  to  fight  for  ''America,  the  grandest  country  in  the  world," 
and  invested  all  his  earnings,  a  thousand  dollars,  in  Liberty  bonds.  A  kind  fate  led  him 
safely  through  the  conflict  and  returned  him  to  his  old  father,  who  awaited  him  here. 
At  the  time  of  the  fifth  loan,  a  member  of  the  woman's  committee,  encountering  him 
tilling  his  cabbage,  asked  him  to  speak  for  the  loan.  ''I  speak?  But,  yes,  I  do  any- 
thing to  help  my  country."  He  was  scheduled  to  speak  at  a  town  15  miles  from  his 
home.  Through  some  mishap  he  missed  his  train,  walked  the  15  miles,  made  his  sim- 
ple, direct  appeal  to  the  people,  finishing  the  job  by  announcing  he  had  invested  his 
latest  earnings,  a  sum  of  $500  in  Victory  bonds.  The  town  where  this  meeting  was 
held  oversubscribed  its  quota  by  $25,000." — From  State  chairman's  report.

GLEANINGS   FROM   THE    CAMPAIGN. 

At  precampaign  State  meetings  plans  and  suggestions  for  county 
organization  were  worked  out.  The  publicity  was  directed  to 
launch  a  heavy  press  attack  beginning  three  weeks  before  the  drive 
and  keeping  it  up  throughout  the  campaign.  Suggestions  for 
pageants,  fairs,  church-school-farm  bureau  meetings  were  pubhshed 
through  the  State  papers.  In  several  counties  the  men  were  busy 
getting  in  crops  and  turned  the  entire  campaign  over  to  the  woman's 
committee. 

American  prosperity  pageants  were  conducted  by  the  woman's 
committee  in  several  counties.  Floats  were  prepared  showing  the 
difference  between  America  and  the  devastated  parts  of  France  and 
Belgium. 

In  rural  districts  the  women  serving  on  loan  committees  took 
turns  serving  a  day  a  week,  in  caring  for  the  other  women's  babies, 
which  were  collected  together,  thus  freeing  their  mothers.

On  March  21,  the  county  chairmen,  men  and  women  of  the  seventh 
Federal  reserve  district,  met  in  Chicago  and  were  addressed  by  the 
Secretary  of  the  Treasury.  Mrs.  George  Bass  and  Mrs.  Kellogg 
Fairbank  spoke  at  the  conference,  representing  the  National  Woman's 
Liberty  Loan  Committee.  In  the  afternoon  State  meetings  of  the 
men  and  women  chairmen  were  held,  and  attended  by  Mrs.  Bass 
and  Mrs.  Fairbank,  and  Miss  Dixon,  Federal  reserve  chairman  for 
women.  On  March  22,  a  meeting  of  the  Illinois  Woman's  Liberty 
Loan  Committee  county  chairmen  was  held  to  discuss  the  work, 
followed  by  a  luncheon,  at  which  several  distinguished  men  and 
women,  many  of  them  recently  returned  from  overseas,  spoke. 
Mrs.  Antoinette  Funk  spoke  at  various  meetings  during  the  campaign. 

GLEANINGS   FROM    THE    CAMPAIGN. 

Many  communities  in  Illinois  were  organized  down  to  the  block 
unit  by  the  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  preparatory  to  an 
educational  house-to-house  canvass  before  the  opening  of  the  Victory 
loan  campaign.  Thirty  thousand  dodgers  by  Helen  Bagg  were  dis- 
tributed by  the  women  of  the  State  organization,  besides  the  Htera- 
ture  sent  out  from  the  national  committee  headquarters  in  the 
Treasury. 

Ten  thousand  copies  of  a  farmer's  bulletin  and  8,000  copies  of  an 
investment  letter  prepared  in  this  office;  3,000  copies  of  the  Presi- 
dent's Liberty  loan  message;  2,200  letters  to  Council  of  Defense  units; 
700  letters  to  Red  Cross  auxiliaries;  60,000  investment  leaflets, 
using  woman's  poster  cut  (10,000  of  these  were  distributed  in  central 
Illinois  by  aeroplanes) ;  20,000  leaflets  announcing  school  contest  for 


27 

German  helmets;  1,000  leaflets  (reprint),  ''Finish  the  Bridge'';  1,000 
leaflets  (reprint),  ''Finish  the  Job";  800  letters  to  women's  clubs; 
1,800  copies  questionnaire;  1,800  reprints,  "Change  Your  Attitude 
on  the  Next  Loan." 

An  Easter  telegram  was  sent  by  the  State  chairman  to  reach  all 
chairmen  early  Easter  morning.  This  seemed  to  have  struck  a 
responsive  note,  and  many  chairmen  reported  that  copies  of  it  were 
read  from  every  pulpit  in  many  cities,  the  contents  being  taken  as 
the  text  of  the  day's  sermon. 

An  appeal  to  the  college  women  of  the  State  was  written  by  Mrs. 
Howard  T.  Willson,  State  chairman,  in  which  Secretary  Glass's 
statement,  "It  takes  a  higher  type  of  patriotism  to  serve  the  country 
to-day  than  it  required  in  the  deUrium  of  war,"  was  quoted. 

Glen  EUyn,  a  town  of  2,500  population,  was  the  first  town  to  go 
over  the  top  in  the  seventh  district.  The  quota  was  $80,000,  and 
voluntary  subscriptions  amounting  to  $90,000  were  raised  on  the 
Sunday  before  the  drive  began.  The  women  alone  did  this  work, 
working  in  relays  from  4.30  a.  m.  Saturday. 

"Lest  We  Forget,"  a  one-act  play  written  by  Helen  Bagg,  of  Chi- 
cago, was  presented  in  every  county  in  the  State  in  the  seventh 
district.  Pageants  prepared  by  the  foreign  language  division  of 
the  woman's  committee  were  features  of  the  loan  campaign  through- 
out the  various  counties. 

Hancock  County. — Women  handled  all  pubMcity  and  pubHc  meet- 
ings. 

Winnebago  County. — Women  in  many  country  districts  did  aU  of 
loan  work. 

Sangamon  County.— Womsin^s  committee  gave,  very  successfully, 
I  trench  breakfast;  secured  two  splendid  speakers — returned  soldiers. 

A  verse  and  essay  contest  was  conducted  through  the  publicity 
department  to  arouse  interest  in  the  loan.  The  prize  in  the  verse 
contest  was  awarded  to  Miss  Jane  Young,  of  Yorkville,  who  sub- 
mitted the  following: 

The  First  one  took  them  over, 

The  Second  helped  them  fight, 
The  Third  kept  home  fires  burning. 

The  Fourth  put  Huns  to  flight. 

Those  Victory  boys  are  homesick, 
'  Your  Buddy  and  your  Jack; 

Come,  put  the  Fifth  one  over 
And  bring  them  safely  back. 

La  Salle  County. — Women  organized  schools.  Children  sold 
$395,500.  One  child  alone  sold  $150,000.  Women  reported  only 
what  they  sold  or  bought.

In  closing  this  report  I  wish  to  say  that  the  Americanization  work  in  connectioE 
with  bond  selling  is  a  splendid  step  toward  real  naturalization  and  has  brought  aboui 
material  results  in  aiding  our  Nation  and  in  helping  these  alien-born  to  understand 
more  fully  what  it  is  to  be  American, — Extract  from  State  report.

GLEANINGS    FROM   THE    CAMPAIGN. 

One  of  the  outstanding  features  of  the  Victory  Liberty  loan  in 
Chicago  was  the  forum  and  theater  on  Michigan  Avenue.  Daily 
performances  were  given,  the  vaudeville  and  theatrical  numbers 
being  in  charge  of  a  special  service  squad,  which  was  made  up  of 
young  women  who  gave  their  entire  time  to  this  work. 

The  Chicago  campaign  opened  with  a  breakfast  at  the  Hotel 
La  Salle  at  7  o'clock  on  the  morning  of  April  21.  Two  hundred  and 
fifty  women  working  on  the  trades  committee  were  present,  and  after 
a  Liberty  loan  rally  marched  with  a  band  through  the  retail  district 
of  Chicago,  for  which  the  woman's  committee  had  entire  responsibility. 
A  Victory  cake  containing  medals  made  from  German  cannon  was 
cut  by  a  naval  officer.  The  organizations  receiving  the  medals 
counted  them  as  mascots. 

From  the  beginning  of  the  drive  the  woman's  organization  of 
Chicago  and  Cook  County  worked  with  the  men.  During  the  last 
week  all  restrictions  were  removed,  and  the  women  workers  were 
permitted  to  take  subscriptions  wherever  possible. 

The  quota  for  the  Twenty-first  Ward  of  Chicago  was  $4,500,000, 
but  at  the  first  meeting  of  the  ward  organization  they  volunteered 
to  raise  their  quota  to  $5,000,000.  It  is  believed  that  this  makes  the 
ward  record  of  the  country,  but  as  it  has  proved  impossible  to  get 
complete  information  from  other  cities,  actual  proof  is  lacking. 
Easter  Sunday  afternoon  the  workers  of  the  Twenty-first  Ward 
marched  up  the  Lake  Shore  Drive  in  a  parade  from  the  Chicago  River 
to  the  Lincohi  statute  in  Lincoln  Park,  where  a  negro  chorus  sang, 
and  speeches  were  made  by  Mr.  Harold  F.  McCormick,  ward  chair- 
man of  the  men's  committee,  Mrs.  Kellogg  Fairbank,  National 
Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee,  and  ex-Gov.  Bumquist  of

of  this  the  woman's  organization  raised  $1,600,000  more  than  in  the 
fourth  loan,  thus  increasing  its  per  cent  of  the  quota.

Scott  and  Spencer  Counties  also  raised  their  quota  on  the  first  day 
in  the  fifth  campaign. 

In  several  of  the  Indiana  counties,  the  quotas  were  taken  over  by 
the  banks,  but  the  women  of  their  own  initiative  resold  the  notes  to 
individual  subscribers.

Owing  to  the  fact  that  the  State  of  Iowa  adopted  the  allotment 
and  volimtary  plan  women  did  not  sell  bonds,  but  confined  them- 
selves entirely  to  educational  and  clerical  work.  In  accordance 
with  the  plans  made  by  the  executive  committee  of  the  Seventh 
Federal  Reserve  Liberty  Loan  Campaign  Committee  the  women 
were  given  credit  for  50  per  cent  of  all  subscriptions  where  the 
allotment  plan  was  used. 

A  joint  conference  of  men  and  women  was  held  in  Chicago,  March 
21,  of  the  entire  seventh  Federal  reserve  committee,   and  also  a 


33 

joint  meeting  of  the  Iowa  conunittee  in  the  ballroom  of  the  La  Salle 
Hotel.  At  the  close  of  this  Session  the  State  chairman  called  the 
women  together,  and  a  short,  spirited  conference  was  held  to  formu- 
late plans  for  the  approaching  campaign.  Between  80  and  90 
women  were  present.  Mrs.  George  Bass  represented  the  National 
Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee. 

GLEANINGS  FROM  THE  CAMPAIGN. 

*  *  *  On  the  whole,  we  are  proud  of  Iowa's  record  in  all  the  loans  and  can  not 
praise  the  women  too  much,  who  worked  throughout  the  two  years  faithfully,  intelli- 
gently, and  untiringly,  and  only  regretted  that  they  could  not  go  out  and  sell  bonds, 
as  they  did  in  so  many  of  the  States,  and  make  a  real  selling  record.  However,  they 
did  put  on  a  splendid  educational  program,  which  was  necessary  in  order  to  keep 
patriotism  alive  to  counteract  what  resentment  might  natui;^lly  develop  from  the 
coercion  incident  to  the  allotment  plan.  This  they  did  nobly. — State  Chairman 
for  Women. 

A  committee  of  women  speakers  accompanied  the  war  special 
train  as  it  toured  Iowa. 

The  work  of  the  Americanization  committee  proved  so  successful, 
as  evidenced  by  many  letters  and  reports  which  reached  the  State 
office,  that  it  is  evident  the  foundation  has  been  laid  for  future  work 
and  that  this  is  a  rich  field  for  women's  activities — the  making  of 
Americans  out  of  our  immigrant  women  and  children. 

Where  the  voluntary  plan  was  used  women  assisted  the  men  at 
all  the  selling,  precincts,  usually  being  in  equal  numbers. 

*  *  *  The  work  of  women  under  the  volunteer  plan  was  difficult  on  account 
of  its  indefiniteness,  since  in  every  case  the  women  were  instructed  to  do  every  possible 
sort  of  educational  work  but  to  hold  themselves  ready  after  that  was  done  to  work  on 
short  notice.  This  drew  them  in  the  various  counties  into  the  most  diverse  sorts  of 
undertakings.  They  did  everything,  carrying  their  share  of  the  selling  efforts, 
making  the  complete  card  indices,  doing  clerical  work,  furnishing  speakers  for  all 
gatherings  of  any  sort,  finding  transportation  for  men  speakers  in  some  cases,  inter- 
viewing special  cases,  and  generally  making  themselves  useful.  Through  all  this 
diversity  of  activity,  sometimes  of  inactivity,  they  mostly  kept  sweet,  and  they  have 
learned  much  about  organization  and  putting  over  community  campaigns. —i^ieZdf 
Director  for  Women. 

The  little  play  ''Lest  We  Forgjef  was  put  on  in  nearly  every 
county,  not  once  but  many  times,  often  in  every  township,  and 
gave  splendid  satisfaction.  Two  helmets  were  awarded  by  the 
woman's  committee  in  every  county  for  the  best  four-minute  talk 
or  the  best  essay  by  a  school  child  on  ''Why  We  Should  Buy  Victory 
Bonds."  In  one  county  alone  1,000  essays  were  written,  and  the 
final  award  was  made  to  the  best  two  in  the  county.

GLEANINGS    FROM   THE   CAMPAIGN. 

Letter  to  men's  State  chairman  from  man  chairman,  Thomas 
County,  Kansas : 

*  *  *  The  campaign  has  been  conducted  entirely  on  voluntary  subscriptions. 
We  have  used  no  solicitors  at  all.  It  was  the  publicity  at  the  start  and  throughout 
the  campaign  that  sold  the  bonds. 

The  woman's  section  of  the  Liberty  loan  committee  had  charge  of  the  publicity. 
No  one  can  take  credit  for  selling  all  the  bonds,  but  it  seems  to  me  that,  due  to  the 
fact  that  the  women  have  had  charge  of  the  publicity  and  that  it  was  through  this  means 
that  the  bonds  were  sold  in  Thomas  County,  they  should  have  credit  for  this  county's 
quota. 

I  therefore  suggest  that  in  the  report  in  this  matter  that  the  women  of  Thomas 
Countj'^  be  given  the  entire  credit  for  the  sales  of  bonds  in  the  Victory  Liberty  loan 
campaign.

While  the  closing  of  the  war  brought  a  general  reluctance  on  the  part  of  those  who 
took  part  in  the  Liberty  loan  committee  to  enter  into  the  work  again,  at  the  approach 
of  the  time  set  for  the  Victory  loan,  patriotism,  which  had  been  lulled  for  a  while , 
awoke  and  the  women  all  over  the  State  threw  themselves  with  renewed  zeal  into  the 
effort  for  placing  the  last  of  our  war  loans. 

Strong  educational  campaigns  were  put  on  throughout  the  State,  which  were  man- 
aged almost  entirely  by  the  woman's  committee,  and  in  a  few  of  the  counties  they 
also  did  much  of  the  solicitation.  A  percentage  basis  of  report  had  been  agreed  upon 
between  the  men's  and  women's  committees  before  the  opening  of  the  loan,  which  it 
was  endeavored  to  have  represent  the  result  of  the  women's  work,  and  varied  in  the 
counties  from  10  to  100  per  cent. 

One  outstanding  feature  of  this  loan  was  the  speaking  done  by  returned  soldiers, 
organized  into  bands  by  the  women,  which,  in  some  districts,  greatly  influenced  the 
result  of  the  campaign,  as  subscriptions  at  the  banks  noticeably  increased  the  days 
following  the  meetings  at  whicli  the  soldiers  spoke. 

Excepting  the  fact  of  the  oversubscription  in  the  State,  there  has  been  nothing 
more  gratifying  than  the  harmony  with  which  the  men's  and  women's  committees 
have  cooperated. 

The  women  lay  down  this  work  feeling  that  it  has  truly  been  a  privilege  to  be  allowed 
to  do  our  share  in  financing  the  great  World  War.^State  Chairman,  Woman's  Liberty 
Loan  Committee.

On  April  8  the  meeting  of  the  Kentucky  county  chairmen  of  the

subscribed  their  full  quotas  on  the  first  day  of  the  Victory  Liberty 
loan  through  the  e^orts  of  the  women's  local  committees. 

Community  singing  was  utilized  by  the  women  of  Kentucky  for 
the  Victory  loan,  and  several  counties  sent  but  song  leaders  to  small 
towns  and  county  schoolhouses  to  spur  interest  in  the  campaign.

In  practically  all  counties  the  volunteer  system  was  adopted,  which 
resulted  satisfactorily,  but  lessened  the  number  of  bonds  actually  sold 
by  women.  They  were,  in  a  sense,  gleaners  in  the  field,  adopting  a 
follow-up  system  that  proved  unexpectedly  fortunate. 

There  was  no  uniform  plan  agreed  upon  as  to  the  percentage 
offered  by  the  men's  committee  to  the  women  in  recognition  of  their 
work.  It  was  a  go-as-you-please  campaign,  with  individual  methods 
in  each  county,  but  with  excellent  team  work  and  harmony,  and  in 
most  instances,  full  credit  being  given  where  it  was  due.

tions through  the  woman's  committee  represents  $50  and  $100  notes. 

The  woman's  committee  sold  no  bonds  to  corporations;  the  only 
trades  they  canvassed  were  dressmakers,  nurses,  milliners,  and 
doctors.  They  had  a  complete  ward  organization.  The  woman's 
committee  was  much  more  restricted  in  the  fifth  campaign  than  in 
the  fourth.

GLEANINGS   FROM   THE    CAMPAIGN. 

As  the  men's  and  women's  organizations  throughout  the  State  were  so  completely 
coordinated  that  they  worked  entirely  as  a  joint  committee,  it  is  not  possible  to  give 
a  detailed  account  of  the  separate  and  special  work  of  the  women.  It  is  a  joy  to  re- 
port that  the  women  planned  their  work  with  the  men,  doing  those  things  which 
they  were  logically  or  individually  best  qualified  to  do  in  their  respective  commimi- 
ties.  In  Detroit  the  woman's  committee  had  charge  of  the  sales  at  the  Liberty  Forum 
down-town  booths,  shared  in  work  of  the  schools  and  theaters. — Extract  from  State 
Report. 

Mrs.  Caroline  C.  Brink,  vice  chairman  of  all  previous  loans,  retained 
her  same  position  for  the  Victory  loan  and  took  under  her  supervi- 
sion twenty-three  counties  in  western  Michigan,  with  an  organizer 
working  directly  under  her. 

All  State  conferences  were  joint  conferences  of  the  men's  and 
women's  organizations  and  were  presided  over  jointly  by  the  direc- 
tor of  sales  for  Michigan  and  the  State  chairman  of  the  Woman's 
Liberty  Loan  Committee.  With  very  few  exceptions  this  policy 
prevailed  in  the  counties  also.  In  all  counties,  whether  upon  the 
volunteer  or  subscription  plan,  the  women  were  credited  with  50 
per  cent  of  the  sales,  except  in  Detroit,  where  their  sales  amounted 
to  $27,743,900,  about  33J  per  cent  of  the  total  amount. 

Twenty-four  nationalities  were  reached  by  the  woman's  foreign- 
language  division  through  night  schools,  public  pageantries,  and 
distribution  of  literature. 

The  woman's  publicity  department  operated  from  State  head- 
quarters, sending  out  daily  to  county  chairmen  inspirational  letters 
and  type  matter  to  be  used  in  the  county  papers. 

Michigan  used  the  allotment  volunteer  plan  entirely,  with  the  ex- 
ception of  four  counties;  therefore  an  educational  campaign  with  pub- 
licity features  preceded  the  opening  of  the  official  one.  The  schools, 
as  usual,  did  their  full  share,  except  where  the  Easter  vacation  inter- 
fered, by  staging  contests  in  essays  and  speaking.  The  little  playlet, 
"Lest  We  Forget,"  was  put  on  so  many  times  and  in  so  many  places 
that  it  is  not  possible  to  be  accurate  in  this  report,  but  conserva- 
tively estimated  about  300  times. 

Special  mention  should  be  made  of  the  women  who  acted  as  dis- 1 
trict  organizers,  for  much  of  the  success  of  the  campaign  is  due  to 
their  intelligent  and  untiring  devotion  and  effort.  Toward  the  end 
of  the  campaign  these  women  were  sent  into  the  backward  counties, 
and  the  testimony  of  the  men  brings  the  inspiring  confirmation  of 
the  fact  that  the  women  saved  the  day.  In  one  county  the  woman 
organizer  unaided  by  any  man  organizer  pushed  the  county  over 


45 

at  the  last  minute.  In  another,  one  who  as  a  speaker  is  equaled  by- 
few  so  inspired  the  entire  committee  that  they  requested  the  county 
chairmen  of  the  woman's  organization  to  try  to  sell  bonds  where 
men  had  failed,  and  she  did  it  with  almost  100  per  cent  result.

GLEANINGS   FROM   THE   CAMPAIGN. 

In  Detroit  a  conspicuous  appeal  was  made  through  the  coopera- 
tion of  the  recreation  commission,  which  presented  a  symbolic 
pageant  and  beautiful  tableaux  in  which  the  foreigfi  born  partici- 
pated. This  was  staged  at  Detroit's  Liberty  Forum,  in  the  open  m 
Cadillac  Square,  with  the  usual  city  crowd  of  thousands  massed 
back  of  the  ropes  as  spectators. 

The  city  of  Detroit  subscribed  its  quota  the  first  day  of  the  Victory 
loan,  but  Mrs.  G.  E.  Allen,  State  chairman,  telegraphed  the  national 
committee  that  her  organization  was  working  as  hard  as  if  the  quota 
had  not  been  reached  and  would  not  cease  from  work  until  every 
man  and  woman  had  a  chance  to  subscribe  for  bonds.

One  township  in  Michigan  was  entirely  let  alone  by  t}).e  men  in 
each  campaign,  so  that  the  women  organized  and  carried  on.  In 
many  counties  every  woman  bought  a  bond. 

All  material  was  distributed  immediately  upon  its  receipt,  and  an 
intensive  educational  campaign  carried  on.

Minnesota  was  organized  under  the  allotment  system.  In  many 
places  the  people  went  to  the  voting  booths  and  voluntarily  gave 
their  subscriptions. 

GLEANINGS   FROM   THE    CAMPAIGN. 

Mrs.  Archibald  MacLaren,  State  chairman,  zoned  the  State  for  the 
woman's  organization  and  held  county  conferences  that  brought  her 
in  touch  with  every  county  chairman  in  the  State  before  the  loan, 
making  it  possible  to  overcome  the  great  distances  in  Minnesota. 

''Keep  the  Loan  Fires  Burning"  was  the  slogan  adopted  for  the 
Victory  Liberty  loan  by  the  women  of  the  Minneapolis  Federal 
reserve  district,  of  which  Mrs.  C.  A.  Severance  is  chairman.     Mrs. 


47

Severance  went  into  every  State  in  the  district  and,  with  the  State 
chairman,  attended  zone  conferences  of  the  counties,  declaring  that 
while  men  might  appeal  to  the  commercial  spirit,  women  would 
appeal  to  the  patriotic  spirit  of  the  citizens  of  the  district  in  cam- 
paigning for  the  loan.  Two  weeks  before  the  loan  opened  the 
woman's  organization  had  been  perfected,  although  because  of  snow 
and  bad  roads  the  difficulties  had  been  great.  Some  of  the  women 
had  to  travel  by  ox  team  to  do  their  campaigning.  Several  Indian 
women  on  the  many  reservations  of  the  district  were  interested 
in  the  loan,  and  many  of  the  reservations  averaged  a  $40-per-capita 
subscription. 

Throughout  the  country  districts  the  women  have  organized 
speakers  and  publicity  bureaus;  have  tried  in  many  counties  to 
reach  every  farmer's  home  through  a  house-to-house  information 
campaign,  and  have  had  the  children  taught  in  the  schools  the  value 
of  the  loan  to  every  true  American. 

Many  large  and  enthusiastic  meetings  have  been  held,  often 
attended  by  both  men  and  women.  Sometimes  speakers  were  sent 
from  our  central  speakers'  bureau,  but  mofe  often  the  local  women 
took  entire  charge  of  the  program,  accomplishing  wonderful  results 
and  a  full  attendance  in  spite  of  heavy  spring  rains  and  muddy  roads 
which  rendered  motor  cars  almost  useless.

The  woman's  committee  organized  the  schools  in  the  State,  but 
no  record  was  kept  of  the  amoimt  of  notes  sold  in  this  way.     In  one 


50 

county  the  women  sold  80  per  cent  and  in  another  75  per  cent,  but 
in  nearly  all  the  counties  the  men  allowed  the  women  a  percentage 
over  their  actual  sales  for  the  work  they  did  in  advertising,  publicity, 
distribution  of  literature,  clerical  work,  etc.,  work  which  all  led  up 
to  the  sale  of  notes. 

On  April  10  the  Missouri  meeting  of  men  and  women  county 
chairmen  was  held  in  St.  Louis.  This  was  a  large  meeting,  and  most 
enthusiastic.  It  was  attended  by  Mrs.  Solon  Jacobs,  representing 
the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee,  and  Mrs.  Theodore 
Benoist,  Federal  reserve  chairman  for  women.  Mr.  Compton,  of 
the  eighth  Federal  reserve  district  organization  announced  in  his 
address  that  if  there  was  any  doubt  about  the  men  being  able  to  put 
the  eighth  district  over  in  the  Victory  loan,  not  to  be  downhearted, 
as  he  was  quite  sure  that  the  women  could  do  it  without  any  assist- 
ance from  the  men. 

Mrs.  Antoinette  Funk  spoke  in  Missouri  during  the  campaign, 
representing  the  national  committee. 

GLEANINGS   FROM   THE    CAMPAIGN. 

An  inspirational  telegram  from  Mrs.  W.  G.  McAdoo,  chairman  of 
the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee,  to  the  women 
workers  of  Missouri,  was  read  to  a  nieeting  of  1,500  St.  Louis  women, 
who  unanimously  made  a  pledge  to  put  the  loan  over  the  top  in  that 
city. 

There  are  instances  where  the  women  worked  in  the  fields  in  the 
daytime  and  sold  bonds  at  night. 

One  Missouri  saleswoman  doing  volunteer  work  was  over  80  years 
old.

A  miniature  replica  of  the  White  House  was  stationed  in  front  of 
the  post  office  in  St.  Louis,  and  women  sold  bonds  while  bands  played 
and  patriotic  addresses  were  made  to  attract  the  crowd.

The  work  in  each  county  was  adjusted  to  local  needs.  The 
woman's  committee  was  credited  with  50  per  cent  of  the  total  sales. 

The  farmers  were  busy  preparing  their  lands  for  new  crops,  and, 
while  the  early  summer  crops  promised  well,  they  were  still  subject 
to  the  hazard  of  uncertain  weather  conditions.  The  business  men 
and  factory  workers  were  harassed  by  the  shortage  of  labor  and  the 
urgent  necessity  to  put  the  war  and  all  that  pertained  to  it  behind 
them  as  quickly  as  possible.  The  State  chairman  found  it  necessary 
to  pursue  with  unswerving  perseverance  a  policy  of  reanimation  and 
reeducation  to  the  necessities  of  the  hour.

Notes  were  sold  under  the  allotment  plan,  the  woman's  committee 
being  credited  with  25  per  cent  of  the  sales.  The  State  chairman 
of  the  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  reports  that  the  women 
of  Montana  really  raised  33  per  cent  of  the  State  quota,  but  grace- 
fully took  the  25  per  cent  allotted  them. 

At  a  conference  of  county  chairmen  of  the  Woman's  Liberty  Loan 
Committee  held  in  Helena,  Mont.,  at  which  Mrs.  McDowell  presided, 
Mrs.  C.  A.  Severance,  Federal  reserve  chairman  for  women,  spoke. 

GLEANINGS    FROM   THE    CAMPAIGN. 

The  woman's  committee  made  a  wide  campaign  for  publicity, 
traveling  long  distances  to  hold  meetings  in  scattered  schoolhouses. 

The  chairman  of  the  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  for  Butte 
and  Silver  Bow  Counties  reports  that  in  an  intensive  three-day  drive, 
in  which  the  Butte  quota  of  $3,000,000  was  oversubscribed,  at  one 
of  her  booths,  $1,152,550  worth  of  Victory  notes  were  sold.

*' Victory  is  not  earned  until  it  is  paid  for"  was  the  slogan  which 
the  woman's  bond-selling  organization  of  Montana  used  in  the 
Victory  loan.  The  great  distances  and  the  lack  of  transportation 
through  various  parts  of  the  State  made  the  work  of  some  of  the 
women  particularly  difficult.

In  the  fifth  loan  the  women  of  Nebraska  were  much  more 
thoroughly  organized  than  the  men.  In  some  counties  the  women 
did  practically  all  of  the  work  in  selling  the  notes.  The  weather 
was  very  inclement,  and  the  roads  almost  impassable  when  the 
campaign  was  on.  In  some  parts  of  the  State  the  workers  were 
obliged  to  use  the  mail  service  almost  exclusively,  as  telegraph  and 
telephone  wires  were  down  for  days  at  a  time.  In  every  county 
where  it  was  possible  a  house-to-house  survey  was  made  by  women 
workers,  and  has  been  reported  to  have  helped  greatly  in  many  cases. 

GLEANINGS    FROM   THE    CAMPAIGN. 

In  Keyapaha  County  the  county  chairman  of  the  woman's  com- 
mittee lives  at  the  county  seat,  which  is  25  miles  from  a  railroad. 
The  county  has  but  3,700  population,  and  more  than  200  of  the  men 
of  that  number  were  in  service  during  the  war.  The  women  at 
home  backed  the  men  at  all  times,  even  to  going  into  the  fields  and 
taking  care  of  the  crops,  doing  heavy  manual  labor  such  as  they  had 
never  done  before.  The  woman  county  chairman  canvassed  the 
entire  county  thoroughly,  often  on  foot. 

The  War  Camp  Community  Service  furnished  to  the  Woman's 
Liberty  Loan  Committee  of  Omaha  a  *' flying  squadron"  of  singers 
who  traveled  on  trucks  to  various  meetings  in  that  city  for  the 
Victory  loan. 

Sioux  County  has  but  one  town,  situated  in  the  extreme  northwest 
corner  and  much  nearer  to  settlements  in  South  Dakota  and  Wyo-

ming  than  to  settlements  in  the  county  itself.  The  chairman  of  the 
woman's  committee  of  that  county,  residing  in  the  town,  had  to 
drive  35  miles  through  the  Bad  Lands  to  reach  a  point  10  miles 
distant  where  she  was  holding  a  loan  meeting. 

Mary  Ellen  Kourke,  2  years  old,  of  Omaha,  sold  her  father  a 
Victory  loan  note,  establishing  a  record  for  juvenility  in  bond  sales- 
manship that  has  not  yet  been  challenged. 

The  women  of  Gage  County  own  $232,000  worth  of  Liberty  bonds, 
although  there  is  hardly  a  woman  in  the  county  who  might  have 
been  set  down  before  the  war  as  ''economically  independent."

department  stores.  The  high-school  pupils  were  asked  to  help  in 
the  final  canvass,  securing  $3,000  worth  of  subscriptions.  School 
children  distributed  literature  through  the  homes,  teachers  acting 
as  captains;  500,000  pieces  were  distributed. 

GLEANINGS    FROM  THE   CAMPAIGN. 

Two  thousand  women  marched  in  the  Victory  parade  in  Omaha, 
preceding  a  theater  meeting  for  the  loan  and  beginning  the  drive 
for  that  city. 

In  Omaha  the  women  canvassers  for  the  Victory  loan  used  the 
ward,  precinct,  and  block  system  with  military  rank  for  the  sub- 
committee chairmen.  A  flying  squad  of  ''privates"  emulated  Paul 
Revere  and  spread  the  immediate  messages  of  the  loan  during  the 
drive  from  house  to  house.. 

The  National  League  of  Woman's  Service,  Omaha  branch,  reopened 
the  Liberty  Bank  on  the  courthouse  square,  where  only  voluntary 
subscriptions  were  received.  Mrs.  William  Archibald  Smith  and 
Mrs.  Milton  Barlow,  joint  chairmen,  together  with  their  corps  of 
workers,  sold  451  bonds,  totaling  $298,950.

GLEANINGS    FROM   THE    CAMPAIGN. 

In  the  final  week  of  the  campaign,  in  response  to  an  appeal  of  the 
Secretary  of  the  Treasury,  a  special  effort  was  made  to  secure  sub- 
scriptions. A  poster  was  issued,  reading  ''Women  of  New  Hampshire, 
Dare  You  Break  Faith  with  Those  Who  Die  in  Flanders  Fields?'' 
Tills  was  displayed  in  street  cars,  windows,  public  buildings,  etc., 
and  many  bond  sales  were  directly  traceable  to  it. 

The  campaign  was  marked  throughout  the  State  by  many  public 
meetings  and  exhibitions  of  that  specially  arranged  film,  ''The  Price 
of  Peace."  Campaign  programs  were  prepared  by  each  town  to 
meet  local  conditions.  During  none  of  the  four  previous  loans 
have  so  many  public  meetings  been  held  throughout  the  State.  The 
State  chairman  attended  and  spoke  at  many  of  these  rallies.

women,  and  Mrs.  Antoinette  Funk  and  Mrs.  Kellogg  Fairbank,  rep- 
resenting the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee 

GLEANINGS    FROM   THE   CAMPAIGN. 

The  activities  of  the  women  workers  did  not  vary  greatly  from 
those  of  former  loans.  They  consisted  largely  in  general  propaganda, 
house-to-house  canvassing,  patient  revisiting  of  possible  subscribers, 
and  untiring  willingness  persistently  to  pursue  small  subscriptions, 
care  of  headquarters,  arrangements  for  meetings,  and  arousing  the 
interest  of  children  in  the  schools.  The  closing  down  of  many  ship- 
yards and  munition  plants  and  of  numerous  other  war  industries  in 
New  Jersey,  and  the  restlessness  among  a  large  part  of  our  foreign- 
born  population,  made  it  impossible  to  sell  the  same  number  of  small 
bonds  as  in  the  fourth  loan.  The  large  number  reported,  therefore, 
becomes  a  testimony  to  the  faithfulness  and  efficiency  of  the  workers. 

In  one  town,  it  was  found  that  on  the  last  day  the  quota  had  not 
been  reached,  and  the  women  then  recanvassed  the  town,  selling 
many  bonds  at  the  post  office  and  the  railroad  station,  and  at  the 
end  of  the  day  that  town  had  gone  over  the  top. 

Through  the  efforts,  of  Miss  Frances  Helen  Kelly,  of  Jersey  City, 
subscriptions  to  the  Victory  loan  in  the  sum  of  $755,601  were  secured. 
Miss  Kelly  rode  the  good  horse  ''Thrift"  all  over  the  State,  dressed 
in  military  uniform,  and  participated  in  various  drives  for  war  funds 
during  a  period  of  eight  months,  securing  through  her  efforts  $3,105,- 
210  in  all.

GLEANINGS   FROM   THE    CAMPAIGN. 

Because  the  spirit  of  patriotism  had  waned  to  some  extent,  and  the  people  did  not 
see  the  necessity  of  this  loan  as  they  had  the  others,  it  made  it  harder  to  get  them  to 
work.  This  after-the-war  spirit,  coupled  with  the  financial  conditions  brought  on  by 
the  hardest  winter  ever  experienced  in  this  State,  made  the  work  of  raising  this  last 
loan  vastly  harder  than  ever  before.  We  had  suffered  a  three-year  drought,  and  then 
this  winter  the  severe  and  continued  snows  made  every  cattle  and  sheep  man  lose 
heavily,  and  many  went  broke.  All  are  running  on  borrowed  money.  In  the  previous 
loans  many  people  had  bought,  and  to  do  so  had  sacrificed  to  the  point  of  actual  want, 
and  this  time  they  did  not  see  the  necessity  of  going  that  far.  In  this  State  a  great 
part  of  those  who  buy  bonds  borrow  money  at  12  per  cent  to  pay  for  them,  so  it  is  not  a 
question  of  a  good  investment,  but  is  an  act  of  pure  patriotism. — Excerpt  from  State 
chairman's  report. 

The  State  chairman  of  the  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee 
visited  every  county  in  New  Mexico. 

In  Chaves  County  the  women  took  over  the  campaign  for  one  week, 
and  at  the  close  they  had  been  so  successful  that  the  men  turned  the 
entire  campaign  over  to  them,  and  the  women  put  the  county  over 
the  top. 

Two  of  the  county  chairmen  in  counties  that  are  thinly  settled 
reported  that  they  could  not  secure  enough  women  to  make  a  canvass, 
so  had  appointed  some  men,  and  the  State  chairman  was  very  glad 
to  have  them,  and  to  send  them  each  a  medal. 


59 

Two  counties  deserve  mention.  In  Valencia  County  the  women  sold 
more  than  enough  bonds  to  cover  the  quota,  and  in  Quay  County 
they  sold  ahnost  enough  to  put  the  county  over.  The  men  in  Quay 
Coimty  did  not  do  any  soliciting,  but  assisted  the  women  in  the 
campaign.

On  February  15  a  Liberty  loan  conference  of  men  and  women  work- 
ers was  held  in  Santa  Fe.  The  conference  profited  by  an  inspira- 
tional address  given  by  Mrs.  Antoinette  Funk,  vice  chairman  of  the 
National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee. 

GLEANINGS   FROM   THE    CAMPAIGN. 

New  Mexico  had  a  problem  almost  peculiarly  its  own  in  its  number 
of  Spanish-speaking  citizens  to  be  interested  in  the  loans,  and  it  was 
largely  due  to  the  work  of  the  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  in 
printing  and  distributing  loan  pamphlets  in  Spanish  that  these  thou- 
sands of  bond  buyers  were  interested. 

The  ^* Price  of  Peace"  films  were  shown  in  the  principal  towns  in 
the  10  counties  and  the  tanks  stopped  at  Las  Vegas,  Clayton,  and 
Santa  Fe.     Great  demonstrations  were  prepared  for  their  reception. 

Special  recognition  should  be  given  for  the  splendid  results  accom- 
plished in  Mora  and  San  Juan  Coimties.  Mrs.  Charles  K,.  Keyes,  the 
new  chairman  of  West  Mora  County,  sold  214  per  cent  of  the  quota 
assigned  to  the  county.  This  is  the  highest  percentage  of  sales 
reported  for  any  county  in  the  tenth  district.

Mrs.  Howard  Huey  was  State  chairman  for  the  whole  State  of  New 
Mexico  for  the  third  and  fourth  loans. 

The  State  quota  for  the  Victory  loan  was  almost  50  per  cent  less 
than  in  the  fourth  campaign.  In  spite  of  this  the  woman's  com- 
mittee raised  within  $100,000  of  the  same  amount  raised  in  the  fourth 
loan,  thus  increasing  their  quota.

GLEANINGS   FROM   THE    CAMPAIGN. 

More  than  200  women  responded  to  the  first  call  from  the  Woman's 
Speakers'  Bureau  in  New  York  State.  Nearly  all  of  them  had  seen 
service  overseas.  Under  the  direction  of  the  bureau  they  took  up 
a  course  of  study  to  acquaint  them  with  facts  pertaining  to  the  loan, 
the  sentiments  to  which  appeal  might  be  made,  and  the  best  methods 
by  which  their  experiences  might  be  told  to  sway  their  audiences. 
In  the  group  of  speakers  were  five  professors  of  household  economics; 
Corpl.  Katherine  Baker,  lawyer  and  magazine  writer,  who  had  been 
head  night  nurse  to  the  Red  Cross  unit  attached  to  the  One  hundred 
and  thirty-seventh  Regiment  of  the  French  Army,  and  one  of  the 
few  women  in  the  United  States  who  has  the  distinction  of  being 
permitted  to  wear  the  citation  cord;  Miss  Ruth  Morgan,  head  of  the 
Red  Cross  in  Paris;  Miss  Grace  Bissell,  who  was  in  the  hospital  back 
of  the  lines  at  Chateau  Thierry;  Miss  Genevieve  Cowles,  a  camouflage 
artist;  Miss  M.  Chave  CoUison,  a  young  AustraHan  recruiting  oflBicer; 
Miss  Beatrice  Frankfort,  operator  at  the  Army  telephone  exchange  at 
Tours;  Miss  Katherine  Stinson;  Miss  Fannie  Hurst;  Mrs.  Vincent 
Astor;  and  Mrs.  Theodore  Roosevelt,  jr. 

During  the  campaign  Mrs.  W.  G.  McAdoo,  Mrs.  Antoinette  Funk, 
and  Mrs.  Kellogg  Fairbank  spoke  at  various  meetings  in  and  near 
New  York. 

Out  of  72  counties  of  New  York,  which  had  1,861  local  committees 
and  over  35,000  women  workers,  only  five  women  county  chairmen 
resigned  in  the  Victory  Liberty  loan.

GLEANINGS    FROM   THE    CAMPAIGN. 

The  New  York  City  publicity  department  of  the  Woman's  Liberty 
Loan  Committee  evolved  the  plan  of  asking  the  chairmen  to  form 
Victory  loan  camera  clubs  to  take  kodak  pictures  of  himian  interest 
for  newspaper  features.  The  department  also  started  a  community- 
house  endowment  of  the  Victory  loan  notes. 

One  hundred  and  fifty  thousand  women  of  the  women's  clubs  of 
Greater  New  York  organized  a  working  unit  for  the  Victory  loan, 
establishing  headquarters  in  the  Hotal  Astor.  Three  hundred  and 
seventy-nine  clubs  were  represented,  333  of  them  affiliated  with  the 
State  Federation  of  Women's  Clubs.  It  was  expected  that  they 
would  raise  100  per  cent  of  their  quota.  They  raised,  in  fact,  the 
largest  percentage  of  quota  in  the  New  York  district,  securing  over 
$13,000,000  on  a  quota  of  $450,000. 

Among  those  who  talked  to  the  crowds  through  the  long-distance 
telephone  arrangement  from  Washington  were  Mrs.  Carter  Glass, 
Mrs.  Newton  D.  Baker,  Mrs.  Larz  Anderson,  and  Miss  Clara  D. 
Noyes,  chairman  of  the  nursing-service  bureau  of  the  Red  Cross. 

One  doughnut,  fried  on  the  steps  of  the  New  York  Subtreasury 
by  Irene  and  Gladys  Mclntyre,  the  famous  Salvation  Army  sisters, 
sold  $25,000  worth  of  Victory  bonds.

GLEANINGS   FROM   THE    CAMPAIGN. 

A  county  chairman  went  into  a  farmhouse  in  one  of  the  western  counties,  with 
small  hopes  of  selling  a  bond.  She  played  with  the  baby,  admired  the  crops,  and 
began  to  tell  them  just  why  they  should  buy  bonds.  When  she  had  talked  herself 
breathless,  the  old  grandmother  said,  ''Hold  on  a  minute,  Miss.  How  much  did  you 
say  I  could  pay  down  on  a  bond  of  $250?"  When  she  told  her,  the  old  woman  said, 
"Pa,  go  bring  the  pill  box  out  of  the  trunk."  Pa  did  so.  The  old  lady  paid  the 
initial  payment  on  $250  in  dimes  out  of  the  pill  box,  and  said  she  would  pay  cash 
as  soon  as  she  could  "get  to  town."  The  money  she  had  was  the  savings  of  a  life- 
time, from  her  little  girlhood  to  her  old  womanhood. — Extract  from  report.

GLEANINGS   FROM   THE    CAMPAIGN. 

The  women  took  a  prominent  part  in  the  Victory  parades  in  most 
of  the  cities. 

Meetings  were  held  in  the  rural  districts,  with  good  speakers  and 
leaders  of  community  singing  furnishing  programs. 

Much  interest  was  aroused  by  the  work  the  woman's  committee 
did  through  the  schools,  as  a  result  of  which  the  children  wrote  essays 
and  poems  and  made  artistic  posters  to  boost  the  bond  sale. 

Many  Indian  women  have  bought  bonds  liberally.  On  an  Indian 
reservation  the  women  averaged  $40  per  capita.

Four  zone  conferences  of  women  Liberty  loan  county  chairmen 
were  held.  The  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  was 
represented  by  Mrs.  Antoinette  Funk  at  Cincinnati  and  Columbus, 
and  Mrs.  Guilford  Dudley  at  Cleveland  and  Toledo.  Mrs.  Frank 
Mulhauser,  Federal  reserve  chairman  for  women,  attended  all  con- 
ferences. 

Mrs.  Antoinette  Funk  spoke  in  the  State  during  the  campaign, 
representing  the  national  committee. 

GLEANINGS   FROM   THE    CAMPAIGN. 

As  you  will  see  *  *  *  in  some  cases  the  women  sold  half  the  quota.  In  one 
township  where  the  women  had  keen  competition  from  the  men,  the  workers  through- 
out the  first  week  reported  $35,000  in  one  day,  where  the  men  worked  six  days  in  a 
free  field,  their  average  sales  being  $20,000.  Another  case  where  the  women  were 
making  a  fine  record,  the  men  requested  that  they  be  taken  out  of  the  field  for  a 
given  time,  in  order  that  they  could  make  a  better  showing.  I  quote  these  two  in- 
stances; there  are  many  others  of  the  same  character,  which  would  be  too  lengthy  to 
relate. — Extract  from  report. 

In  the  Cincinnati  area  20  out  of  25  districts  the  woman's  com- 
mittee did  house-to-house  solicitation.  In  the  remaining  five  (which 
include  the  business  district)  they  did  clerical  and  special  work.  In 
this  area  the  result  of  the  fifth  campaign  has  been  an  increase  of  50 
per  cent  for  the  woman's  committee  over  the  fourth  campaign.

The  woman's  committee  did  not  have  a  selling  organization. 
Men's  committee  covered  city  and  allowed  woman's  committee  25 
per  cent  of  the  sales.  Forty-five  women  tabulated  and  sorted  the 
material  for  salesmen's  kits;  another  group  of  women  distributed 
posters.  The  war  mothers  spoke  in  the  protestant  churches  of  the 
city  and  had  their  appeal  read  in  the  Catholic  churches.

At  the  end  of  each  day  the  woman  selling  the  greatest  amount  of

A  large  part  of  the  propaganda  and  educational  work  was  left  to 
the  woman's  committee  in  Oklahoma.  The  counties  were  organized 
in  a  systematic  way  by  their  patriotic  chairmen,  and  the  work  was 
soon  accomplished.  In  the  greater  part  of  the  State  the  campaign 
was  carried  on  as  in  the  former  campaigns,  each  county  being  given 
its  quota,  and,  in  turn,  each  district  its  quota,  and  all  responded 
as  quickly  as  during  the  active  war  period. 

No  report  was  made  when  the  quota  was  taken  by  the  banks;  in 
that  case  the  women  worked  in  every  way  possible,  but  actually 
sold  no  bonds  and  no  credit  was  taken  for  the  work  done.

A  conference  of  men  and  women  county  chairmen  was  held  March 
28  and  29.  Mrs.  Baldwin  attended  it,  representing  the  national 
committee. 

In  Oregon  nothing  has  so  developed  the  capacity  of  women  as  the  part  they  have 
taken  in  the  Liberty  loan  drives.  This  is  especially  so  of  a  large  group  of  women  who 
never  before  had  taken  part  in  any  organized  effort  for  any  cause  or  any  public  work. 
They  have  been  given  an  insight  into  the  conduct  of  the  financing  of  the  Government^ 
and  above  all,  there  has  been  developed  in  them  a  sense  of  responsibility  toward 
matters  which  up  to  this  time  had  been  entirely  foreign  to  them. — Extract  from  State 
chairman's  report. 

GLEANINGS   FEOM   THE   CAMPAIGN. 

The  woman's  committee  began  their  speaking  campaign  early  in 
April.  It  was  thoroughly  organized  and  carried  out  with  great 
success.  An  evening  meeting  was  arranged  at  nearly  every  school 
building  throughout  the  city.  An  attractive  program  was  arranged, 
the  community  was  invited  through  the  school  children  of  each 
district,  and  a  returned  soldier  and  a  civilian  speaker  addressed  each 
,  group.  From  100  to  500  people  attended  each  meeting.  Besides 
these  evening  meetings,  afternoon  meetings  were  arranged  for  the 
parent-teachers'  associations.  Every  woman's  organization  in  the 
city  of  any  size  was  addressed  by  a  Liberty  loan  speaker.  Arrange- 
ments were  made  with  the  granges  throughout  the  State  to  give 
time  on  their  April  programs  for  a  speaker  on  bonds.  About  200 
meetings  were  thus  arranged,  and  approximately  50,000  people 
reached  in  this  way. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  campaign  the  publicity  bureau  of  the 
men's  organization  was  put  at  the  disposal  of  the  woman's  com- 
mittee, and  throughout  the  campaign  they  could  not  have  asked  for 
better  publicity  than  was  given  their  work.  They  had  a  publicity 
chairman  and  each  day  sent  to  press  headquarters,  both  city  and 
State,  whatever  they  had  to  give  out  for  the  day.  When  occasion 
demanded,  the  woman's  committee  was  given  part  of  the  great 
display  ads  which  were  a  feature  of  the  men's  publicity  work. 

In  summing  up  I  should  say  that  it  is  the  best  campaign  we  have  had  a  part  in. 
There  were  no  handicaps;  nothing  that  we  felt  made  our  work  less  efficient.  It 
increased  what  has  been  growing  since  the  women  of  Oregon  began  work  of  this  nature ; 
that  is,  the  respect  that  the  men  have  come  to  have  for  women's  work,  their  realization 
of  the  need  for  cooperation,  their  willingness  to  let  women  share  work  of  this  kind, 
and  the  feeling  they  have  that  a  movement  of  this  kind  is  benefited  by  the  cooperation 
of  the  work  of  men  and  women.  The  greatest  result,  of  course,  from  work  of  this  kind 
is  the  effect  on  the  women  themselves,  their  greater  sense  of  responsibility,  their 
greater  knowledge  of  financial  affairs,  and  their  broader  outlook. — Extract  from  report 
of  State  chairman.

In  Portland  every  effort  was  made  to  have  the  woman^s  organiza- 
tion in  such  shape  that  it  would  be  ready  for  whatever  arose.  The 
wisdom  of  this  was  fully  proven  by  later  developments.  To  the 
2,000  workers  of  the  Fourth  loan  publicity  matter  concerning  the 
new  loan,  the  need  of  their  services,  and  an  appeal  for  their  coopera- 
tion were  sent  out  together  with  a  return  postal  card  in  the  form  of 
a  questionnaire.  From  these  return  pledges  for  service  were  made 
card  catalogues,  arranged  both  alphabetically  and  by  precincts. 
Thus  was  the  woman^s  committee  ready  either  to  supply  hundreds 
of  women  workers  for  the  use  of  the  men's  organization  or  put  an 
organized  force  into  the  field  themselves  if  separate  districts  were 
assigned  to  them. 

In  this  city  where  more  than  half  of  the  State  subscriptions  are 
raised,  the  men's  organization  had  been  allowed  to  lapse  after  the 
fourth  loan.  It  was  not  until  10  days  before  the  opening  of  the 
campaign  drive  that  they  began  to  form  their  plans.  Three  days 
before  the  opening  of  the  drive,  the  woman's  committee  were  asked 
to  take  over  the  entire  management  of  260  precincts  out  of  the  entire 
300  in  the  city,  including  many  industrial  plants  and  business  houses. 
Even  putting  into  motion  so  large  an  organization  on  such  short 
notice  seemed  a  tremendous  task.  A  house-to-house  canvass  was 
made,  including  such  industrial  plans  and  business  concerns  as  were 
included  in  our  territory.  Not  only  did  we  cover  the  entire  territory 
assigned  to  us,  but  brought  in  almost  double  the  amount  in  subscrip- 
tions which  we  had  been  asked  to  secure  from  the  territory  given  us. 
To  the  woman's  committee  feU  50  per  cent  of  the  total  subscriptions 
taken  in  the  city.

72 

last  three  or  four  days  the  counties  were  abnost  solely  dependent 
upon  the  women.  The  men  in  only  one  county  offered  the  women 
a  percentage;  that  was  50  per  cent.  In  one  or  two  other  counties  a 
portion  of  certain  industrials  was  given  to  the  women. 

Mrs.  Miller  says  in  regard  to  the  women  workers  of  her  State  (there 
were  100,000  working  in  the  Victory  loan) :  ^'The  women  of  Pennsyl- 
vania have  shown  a  steady  development  both  in  organization  and 
in  the  technique  of  bond  selling  through  the  four  loans  in  which  they 
have  been  actively  engaged  in  Pennsylvania.  Their  appreciation,  in 
almost  every  county,  of  the  value  of  publicity  and  of  closely  coordi- 
nated teamwork  has  been  remarkable.  I  would  feel  that  it  would 
not  be  overestimating  the  condition  to  say  that  they  have  fm*nished 
nine-tenths  of  the  publicity  for  the  loans  in  which  they  have  taken 
an  active  part.  Practically  every  county  in  the  State  has  had  a 
large  women's  parade  during  the  coiu*se  of  the  loan.  They  have  held 
innumerable  meetings,  with  both  men  and  women  speakers,  and  in 
many  townships  and  boroughs  they  have  had  entire  handling  of 
the  loan,  the  men's  conrmiittee  turning  over  the  responsibility  and 
power  to  them.'^ 

Mrs.  Funk  and  Mrs.  Fairbank  spoke  in  Pennsylvania  during  the 
campaign,  representing  the  national  committee. 

GLEANINGS  FROM  THE  CAMPAIGN. 

We  have  remarkable  totals  for  the  Victory  loan,  better  than  any  previous  cam- 
paign— in  fact  the  women  secured  every  individual  subscription  turned  in.  Every 
township  was  organized  with  strong  teams  of  10  or  more  women  for  an  actual  house-to- 
house  and  farm-to-farm  canvass. 

No  one  escaped  the  women  solicitors ;  as  many  as  eight  trips  were  made  to  one  home 
before  one  solicitor  "caught"  a  certain  man.  Our  organization  was  perfect,  all  town- 
ship chairmen  sending  in  perfect  report  cards  and  solicitor's  papers.  We  used  a 
house-to-house  record  report  for  every  township,  each  solicitor  having  a  definite 
territory.  I  am  inclosing  one  of  the  solicitor's  reports  to  show  you  how  perfectly 
they  were  kept. 

We  also  had  a  team  of  bank  solicitors  for  every  bank  in  the  county.  These  women 
worked  in  relays — from  9  to  3  every  day  during  the  loan — and  had  a  decorated  booth 
in  each  bank.  This  committee  did  splendid  work,  catching  the  people  who  refused 
to  subscribe  from  the  house-to-house  solicitor.  So  many  people  say  "I  will  subscribe 
at  the  bank, ' '  not  caring  to  make  arrangements  or  payments  to  a  solicitor.  We  actually 
secured  every  subscription  except  the  Pennsylvania  Railroad  employees,  a  few 
miners,  and  the  men  employed  at  the  paper  mill  and  tannery.  There  was  no  chance 
of  getting  the  Pennsylvania  Railroad  men — their  slips  were  handled  by  the  company, 
which  was  also  the  case  with  the  paper  mill  and  tannery— the  companies  buying  the 
bonds  for  the  men  and  deducting  so  much  from  their  wages  every  pay  day. 

You  will  see  by  the  inclosed  table  the  remarkable  totals  that  were  secured  by  the 
woman's  committee.  Mr.  Quigley  in  making  a  final  report  to  the  Federal  reserve  in 
Philadelphia  wrote  them  that  Clinton  County's  Victory  loan  was  raised  by  the 
woman's  committee.  Mr.  Quigley  had  to  be  in  Harrisburg  three  or  four  days  a 
week,  80  the  burden  of  the  whole  campaign  actually  fell  on  me.

GLEANINGS  FROM  THE  CAMPAIGN. 


The  city  was  divided  into  districts.  For  several  weeks  prior  to  the 
opening  of  the  campaign  joint  meetings  of  the  men's  and  women's 
committees  were  held  to  plan  methods  of  promoting  the  success  of 
the  loan.  As  a  result  of  these  conferences  it  was  decided  that  the 
men's  and  women's  committees  should  occupy  joint  headquarters 
throughout  the  city,  that  a  Liberty  statue  should  be  erected  in 
each  district,  to  be  used  as  the  main  booth  of  the  woman's  commit- 
tee. Meetings  were  held  here  with  speakers,  singers,  and  naval  and 
military  features.  The  main  booth  had  a  colossal  Victory  statue,  and 
every  day  between  12  and  2  the  streets  before  it  were  roped  off  and 
traffic  diverted,  so  that  the  space  could  be  used  for  the  daily  meetings. 
Opening-day  exercise  were  held  in  each  district,  the  women  chairman 
being  chosen  to  unveil  the  statute  in  each  instance. 

In  the  central  city  district,  one  of  the  greatest  successes  was  called 
''Camac  Street,  the  Biggest  Little  Street  in  the  World,"  which 
covered  two  squares.  This  was  under  the  direction  of  the  artists, 
with  Mrs.  Charles  E.  Wood  representing  the  central  city  district. 
The  committee  was  assisted  by  well-known  poster  artists,  etchers, 
and  portrait  painters,  who  did  posters,  portraits,  and  etchings,  which 
were  sold  by  auction  to  the  highest  bidder,  the  proceeds  going  for 
bonds.  Portrait  painters  volunteered  to  paint  a  portrait  of  anyone 
buying  a  Victory  bond  for  $10,000  and  up.  In  the  evening,  dinners 
were  served  in  the  different  art  clubs,  followed  by  theatrical  perform- 
ances in  the  street.     Continuous  bond  selling  prevailed. 

The  pubhc  schools  were  very  active;  the  child  who  sold  the  largest 
number  of  bonds  in  each  school  was  given  a  German  helmet.

Each  loan  showed  a  marked  improvement  in  organization  and  in  the  work  of  the 
women.  From  the  first  they  gave  themselves  to  the  work  with  their  whole  hearts 
and  souls.  In  the  Victory  drive  the  women  were  largely  responsible  for'  the  State 
going  over  the  top.  The  men  had  lost  interest  and  there  was  much  apathy  among 
them.  In  several  counties  where  there  was  no  man  chairman  the  women  put  on 
the  drive  and  raised  their  county's  quota  without  the  assistance  of  the  men's  com- 
mittee .—Extract  from  report.

GLEANINGS   FROM   THE   CAMPAIGN. 

Booths  were  conducted  by  women  in  all  towns  that  were  large 
enough  to  warrant  them. 

Organization  in  the  Victory  loan  consisted  of  the  State  chairman, 
an  executive  committee,  7  congressional  district  chairmen,  46 
county  chairmen,  township  and  school  district  chairmen  in  each 
county.  In  the  cities,  ward  chairmen  for  every  ward,  with  captains 
and  lieutenant  for  every  block. 

Each  county  chairman  had  a  publicity  chairman,  and  in  most 
cases  the  same  women  who  had  done  the  publicity  work  in  previous 
campaigns  kept  this  oflB.ce,  and  supplied  State  headquarters  with 
clippings  and  news  of  the  activities  in  their  counties.  Many  ex- 
cellent features  were  put  on.  The  woman's  committee  distributed 
posters  and  literature  and  in  fact  did  most  of  the  publicity  work 
throughout  the  State. 

House-to-house  canvassing  was  done  entirely  by  the  women  and 
they  made  a  special  effort  personally  to  reach  each  individual.  . 

^'The  barrage  is  down — let's  drive"  was  the  slogan  adopted  by  the 
women's  Liberty  loan  for  the  Victory  loan  as  a  result  of  a  children's 
prize  slogan  contest. 

The  women  held  a  gold  star  memorial  service  on  the  last  day  of 
the  Victory  loan  drive  by  raising  the  Stars  and  Stripes,  the  State  flag, 
and  a  gold  star  flag  from  the  roof  of  the  State  capitol  dome.  Mme. 
Sohumann-Heink  led  the  community  chorus,  singing  the  Star-Span- 
gled  Banner  as  the  flags  were  unfurled. 

In  two  of  the  counties  no  man  chairman  was  appointed,  and  the  women  conducted 
the  entire  campaign.  In  several  other  counties  the  men's  committee  turned  the 
campaign  over  to  the  women,  who  most  successfully  put  the  county  over  the  top. 
Relationship  with  the  men's  committee  was  most  cordial  and  cooperative.  The  men 
had  learned  the  value  of  the  woman's  committee  and  were  very  glad  to  call  upon 
us  for  assistance. 

The  conditions  in  this  State  at  the  beginning  of  the  drive  were  very  discouraging. 
The  price  of  cotton  was  low  and  cotton  was  being  held.  Many  people  were  still 
paying  for  bonds  of  previous  issues.  In  the  rural  districts  the  people  were  obliged 
to  put  all  available  cash  into  fertilizer,  and  they  were  borrowing  from  the  banks 
besides.  Many  of  the  men  of  the  State  were  very  anxious  to  get  back  to  normal,  as 
they  felt  their  business  had  suffered  from  the  many  calls  upon  their  time  during  the 
war,  and  there  was  apathy  and  lack  of  interest  among  some  of  them. 

The  dirge,  "The  Fifth  Victory  Loan  Will  Never  Be  Put  Over,"  echoed  and  reechoed 
from  one  end  of  the  State  to  the  other.  The  women,  however,  set  out  with  determined 
hearts,  inspired  by  the  spirit  of  thanksgiving  that  100,000  of  our  brave  boys'  lives 
had  been  saved  by  the  signing  of  the  armistice,  and  realizing  the  fact  that  the  money 
asked  for  by  the  Government  was  to  bring  the  boys  home  and  pay  a  just  and  honorable 
debt,  they  organized  their  forces  with  undaunted  courage  and  pledged  themselves 
gladly,  cheerfully,  and  thankfully  to  see  the  Victory  loan  through. 

It  is  impossible  to  say  that  any  one  factor  was  responsible  for  the  success  of  the 
woman's  committee.  Three  elements,  however,  contributed  largely.  First,  the 
untiring  hard  work  and  devoted  patriotism  of  the  women;   second,  the  wonderful 


79 

cooperation  and  harmony  in  every  branch  of  the  organization;  and  third,  the  team- 
work and  hearty  good-fellowship  that  existed  between  the  men  and  the  women. —

GLEANINGS   FROM   THE   CAMPAIGN. 

In  Perkins  County,  which  is  in  the  newer  part  of  the  State,  men 
and  women  drive  70  miles  to  come  to  a  Liberty  loan  meeting.  The 
sending  of  the  tanks  into  this  territory  was  an  additional  incentive 
to  come  to  patriotic  gatherings.  In  these  newer  parts  of  the  country, 
the  readiness  with  which  homesteaders  bought  bonds  was  inspiring. 
Families  whose  homes  had  not  even  the  barest  comforts  of  life, 
invested.  The  State  chairman  reports  that  one  family  borrowed 
money  at  10  per  cent  interest  to  buy.  bonds  in  the  third  campaign. 

The  chairman  of  the  woman's  committee  teUs  a  story  about  one 
of  her  chairmen  which  characterizes  the  spirit  of  the  Liberty  loan 
workers  in  that  State.  The  chairman  of  Harding  County  traveled  75 
miles  by  motor  in  a  rainstorm  to  go  on  to  a  meeting  in  Deadwood  with 
the  chairman  of  Meade  County.  There  they  were  snowbound  for 
three  days;  went  back  to  Meade  County  and  there  had  to  wait  three 
days  more  before  she  could  go  home  again.  The  roads  were  in  a 
terrible  condition  when  she  started,  and  it  took  her  more  than  17 
hours  to  travel  this  distance,  but  she  thought  no  hardship  too  great 
to  carry  the  message  of  the  Victory  loan  to  the  women  of  her  county. 

A  woman  worker  in  Alexandria  was  so  crippled  by  rheumatism 
that  a  personal  canvass  for  the  loan  was  impossible,  so  she  devised 
the  scheme  of  sending  out  Victory  loan  literature  by  placing  the 
leaflets  in  egg  cases. 

South  Dakota  is  exceedingly  prosperous,  and  the  opportimities 
for  safe  investment  at  higher  rates  of  interest  than  the  Victory  bonds 
paid  are  numerous,  but,  nevertheless,  the  people  were  very  glad  to 
subscribe  and  oversubscribe. 

In  Gregory  County  every  man,  woman,  and  child  committed  to 
memory  the  ' 'American's  Creed." 

The  women  on. the  loan  committee  are,  as  a  rule,  sorry  that  their  work  is  over,  for 
we  all  have  enjoyed  it.  I  think  you  may  count  on  us  whenever  again  in  the  future 
the  Government  may  have  need  for  our  services.  I  shall  be  very  glad  if  the  oppor- 
tunity arises  for  me  to  work  again  under  the  same  leadership. — Excerpt  from  report. 

The  woman  chairman  of  Potter  County  got  out  a  card  for  every 
person  in  her  county  with  this  inscription: 

Has  your  wife  helped  to  save  the  money  you  are  going  to  invest  in  Victory  notes? 
Hasn't  she  said  from  time  to  time,  "I  will  not  buy  this  because  we  must  save  for 
Liberty  hondsV  Will  you  show  your  appreciation  of  this  helpfulness  by  taking  part 
of  this  allotment  in  her  name?

GLEANINGS   FROM   THE    CAMPAIGN. 

"His  picture  in  the  paper''  was  the  incentive  which  inspired  a 
small  newsboy  of  Nashville,  Tenn.,  to  organize  the  newsboys  of 
the  State  and  buy  bonds  of  the  fourth  Liberty  loan.  He  was  standing 
at  the  State  publicity  chairman's  desk  watching  her  write  up  the 
Sunday  news  and  compile  the  photographs  of  prominent  Liberty 
loan  workers  of  the  State. 

He  said  to  the  chairman,  "If  I  buy  a  bond  can  I  get  my  picture 
in?"  She  assured  him  that  the  purchase  of  a  bond  would  produce 
the  desired  result,  and  suggested  that  he  buy  one  on  the  installment 
plan.  He  rushed  out  of  the  office  immediately,  came  back  with  $5 
and  a  friend  who  also  desired  a  kind  word  from  the  press.  When 
the  picture  was  published  the  small  newsie  became  one  of  the  most 
enthusiastic  loan  workers  in  Tennessee.  He  aided  the  woman's 
committee  in  organizing  the  newsboys  of  the  State,  who  bought 
$200,000  worth  of  bonds,  with  no  individual  subscription  over  $100. 


82; 

Owing  to  the  impassable  condition  of  the  roads  in  Hawkins  County 
during  the  campaign,  the  women  made  a  house-to-house  canvass 
on  horseback.     Their  quota  of  $163,900  was  raised. 

Loudon  County  subscribed  her  quota  before  the  campaign  started. 
On  being  asked  by  headquarters  if  they  needed  a  tank  or  any  pub- 
licity stunts,  the  woman's  chairman  replied  ''We  need  nothing  but 
two  German  helmets  as  trophies;  the  county  is  over."  Their  quota, 
which  was  $121,750,  was  oversubscribed  by  $14,000. 

The  women  of  a  rural  district  organized  ''butter  and  egg  day'' 
sale  of  bonds.  They  chose  one  day  of  each  week  during  the  drive, 
and  pledged  the  profits,  of  that  day's  sales  to  the  purchase  of  bonds. 
The  State  publicity  chairman  passed  on  the  plan  to  all  the  counties 
in  the  division,  and  asked  each  Sunday  school  in  the  rural  district 
to  propagandize  the  method.  In  this  way  thousands  of  dollars  were 
invested  by  the  country  women  in  the  Victory  loan. 

The  women  of  Greene  County,  with  their  slogan,  "  Every  housewife 
a  bondholder,"  and  their  all-ladies  minstrel  show  for  a  publicity  feature 
of  the  loan,  proved  of  invaluable  assistance.  The  quota  of  this 
county  was  $234,750,  and  woman's  Liberty  loan  subscriptions  were 
$320,000.  Afternoon  and  night  performances  of  this  minstrel  were 
given  in  several  districts  of  Greene  County,  selling  bonds  at  each 
performance.

GLEANINGS   FROM   THE    CAMPAIGN. 

Hardin  County  had  only  12  women  working  under  direction  of 
Miss  Gertrude  Irwin,  and  raised  96  per  cent  of  the  quota.  This 
county  has  no  bridges  and  no  railroads,  and  the  Tennessee  River 
divides  the  county.  Five  counties  were  carried  by  banks  with  no 
work  for  men  or  women,  hence  no  report.  Memphis  and  Shelby 
County  women  did  all  publicity  features  and  turned  town  into 
carnival  on  streets  for  one  week,  until  quota  was  reached. 

To  show  the  spirit  of  enthusiasm  manifested  in  Tennessee,  we  repeat 
the  foUoVing  incident:  At  a  conference  of  county  chairmen,  Mrs. 


83 

Phillips  was  telling  of  one  of  her  best  workers,  a  county  chairman, 
who  had  just  received  news  that  her  son  had  been  killed  in  battle, 
saying,  of  course,  she  could  not  ask  her  to  take  part  in  the  campaign. 
Unknown  to  her  this  chairman  was  present,  and  while  she  was  still 
speaking  a  little  woman  in  black  at  the  end  of  the  hall  stood  up 
and  said  she  would  take  part  as  she  had  always  done;  that  if  she  did 
not  do  so  she  would  not  be  loyal  to  the  cause  for  which  her  son  had 
died.

A  joint  conference  of  men  and  women  county  chau-men  was  held 
at  Salt  Lake  City  on  March  14. 

At  a  meeting  of  county  chairmen  and  executive  committee  mem- 
bers held  previous  to  the  campaign,  it  was  unanimously  voted  to 
divide  the  total  returns  between  the  two  committees.  No  hard  and 
fast  regulations  as  to  actual  campaigning  methods  were  recomimended 
to  the  coimty  chairmen,  it  being  thought  best  to  leave  them,  as  here- 
tofore, to  work  out  their  individual  problems,  since  there  seemed  so 
great  differences  in  local  conditions  to  be  met. 

The  Federal  reserve  chairman  for  women,  Mrs.  A.  S.  Baldwin,  paid 
Utah  a  visit  prior  to  the  opening  of  the  campaign. 

GLEANINGS   FROM   THE    CAMPAIGN. 

The  Mormon  Church  placed  its  entire  subscription  to  the  Victory 
Liberty  loan  through  the  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  in  the 
State  of  Utah.  The  president  of  the  church,  in  making  the  sub- 
scription, stated  to  Mrs.  Ferry  that  the  work  of  women  in  the  war 
finance  entitled  them  to  the  credit  of  the  placing  of  the  subscription. 

GLEANINGS   PROM   THE    SALT   LAKE   CITY  CAMPAIGN. 

The  campaign  opened  with  an  air  circus,  three  days  prior  to  the 
oflB-cial  opening  date.  A  great  feature  was  made  of  this;  the  atten- 
tion of  the  public  was  thus  focused  upon  the  drive  at  the  beginning. 
The  women  had  charge  of  the  street  activities,  and  opened  proceed- 
ings with  a  vim. 

Billy  Sunday  was  one  of  the  attractions  of  the  campaign,  and  the 
woman's  committee  took  charge  of  the  soliciting  at  his  lecture. 

The  Woman's  Bungalow  Bank,  which  had  proved  such  a  successful 
feature  of  former  drives,  was  again  used,  the  building  being  donated 
as  before,  and  erected  during  the  night  previous  to  the  campaign 
opening,  upon  a  prominent  business  corner.  Another  street  method 
was  solicitation  from  trucks  loaded  with  wounded  soldiers,  accom- 
panied by  speakers  and  musicians,  assisted  by  girls  and  women, 
who  worked  among  the  crowd. 

Twenty-two  booths  were  maintained  by  the  woman's  committee 
in  stores  and  on  streets.     Total  results  of  booth  committee,  $483,450. 

The  church  committee  maintained  its  former  fine  records,  and  was 
successful  in  having  all  denominational  churches,  large  and  small, 
represented;  total,  $191,100.  The  Latter-Day  Saints  women's 
organization  suceeded  in  rolling  up  a  total  far  in  advance  of  any 
previous  record.  This  committee  alone  had  about  800  workers  in 
the  field;  total,  $352,250.  The  women's  clubs  committee,  including 
the  Catholic  Women's  League,  also  outdistanced  all  former  records 
in  this  campaign,  by  bringing  in  a  total  of  $139,150.  The  educa- 
tional committee  was  equaUy  successful,  turning  in  $132,850,  which 


85         . 

was  considered  a  splendid  result,  as  no  effort  was  made  in  this  cam- 
paign to  use  the  school  children  for  selling  purposes.

In  Clarendon  there  was  no  man  chairman,  and  after  the  drive 
started  the  woman  chairman  was  given  the  entire  field.  She  raised 
several  thousands  over  the  quota.  She  had  two  men  on  her  com- 
mittee; one  sold  $100  bond,  the  other  about  $2,000.  The  women 
raised  $19,200. 

The  feeling  throughout  the  State  has  been  much  better  in  the  fifth  loan.  I  think 
the  men  generally  admit  that  we  are  extremely  useful. — Extract  from  report.

A  conference  of  county  chairmen  was  held  in  Richmond  on  April  1. 
Miss  Mary  Synon  attended,  representing  the  National  Woman's 
Liberty  Loan  Committee.  During  the  campaign  Mrs.  Antoinette 
Funk,  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee,  visited  the  State 
and  spoke  at  a  meeting. 

The  men's  committee  in  Virginia  have  never  endeavored  to  limit

GLEANINGS    FROM   THE    CAMPAIGN. 

The  woman's  Victory  loan  committee  of  Appomattox  County 
guaranteed  to  the  Woman's  National  Liberty  Loan  Committee  the 
subscription  of  Appomattox  County  quota,  holding  themselves 
responsible  for  the  whole  amount  in  case  it  was  not  othei*wise  sub- 
scribed. 

Not  politics  but  peanuts  was  an  important  issue  at  the  Victory 
loan  conference  of  the  women  county  chairmen  of  Virginia.  The 
peanut  crop  and  the  price  of  peanuts  was  a  factor  in  the  Victory  loan^^ 
and  the  women  chairmen  of  those  counties  where  peanut  production 
was  the  principal  industry  faced  the  problem  of  aiding  the  farmers 
toward  a  financial  adjustment  with  the  banks. 

I  am  glad  to  say  that  only  in  a  few  isolated  instances  did  the  women  fail  to  receive 
hearty  and  enthusiastic  cooperation  from  the  bank  committee,  and  those  instances 
were  more  than  offset  by  the  cases  in  which  the  women  practically  carried  on  the 
campaign  for  both. — Extract  from  the  report.

A  complete  State  organization  perfected  in  38  counties,  uniform  in 
all,  known  as  ''The  Minute  Women's  Organization,"  has  put  through 
all  loan  campaigns. 

The  minute  woman  organization  of  Washington  was  begun  before 
the  second  Liberty  loan.  It  included  organized  and  unorganized 
women,  and  in  its  ranks  were  Chinese,  Japanese,  Negroes,  and  Indians. 
Through  this  organization  literature  in  22  languages  was  distributed  . 
It  consists  of  a  State  committee,  which  includes  officers  and  auxiliary 
chairmen  in  charge  of  six  districts.  Each  county  has  a  county 
chairman  and  a  minute  woman  organization.  Each  incorporated 
town  has  a  minute  woman  captain  for  each  ward.  This  ward  cap- 
tain appoints  a  precinct  lieutenant  and  the  lieutenant  appoints  suffi- 
cient minute  women  to  carry  out  a  house-to-house  canvass  of  the 
precinct.  Eight  thousand  minute  women  served  in  the  Victory  loan 
campaign. 

The  woman's  committee  organized  the  schools.  The  children  sold 
bonds. 

A  State  conference  of  county  chairmen  of  the  woman's  committee 
was  held  in  Seattle  March  28.  On  March  29  the  men's  conference 
was  held,  to  which  the  women  were  invited. 

Mrs.  Baldwin  spoke  in  Washington  during  the  campaign,  repre- 
senting the  national  committee. 

GLEANINGS   FROM   THE    CAMPAIGN. 

Nearly  every  county  held  county  conferences,  all  following  very 
closely  the  outline  of  the  State  conference,  and  all  reporting  them  of 
great  help. 

In  the  farming  and  agricultural  districts  the  women  used  many 
different  methods  of  reaching  the  settlers;  one  minute  woman  walked 
8  miles  in  a  district  she  could  not  reach  by  horse  or  car. 

Children's  parades  were  held  in  many  places  and  were  reported  tji© 
best  ever  held,  getting  more  people  out  than  any  other  one  feature. 

At  Snohomish  <»  woman  chairman  was  in  charge  of  the  entire 
county.  This  was  an  honor  in  recognition  of  excellent  work  accom- 
plished in  previous  campaigns. 


89 

One  of  the  most  inspiring  meetings  held  was  in  the  I.  W.  W. 
country,  among  the  loggers  at  Twin  Rivers.  The  majority  of  the 
men,  by  their  deep  interest  and  enthusiastic  applause,  showed  that 
they  were  glad  to  echo  the  sentiment  of  loyalty  and  triumph  in  the 
victory  of  the  great  national  cause.  Among  these  men  I  found  an 
American  who  had  served  his  two  years  with  the  King's  Royal 
Rifles  under  Haig  in  Flanders. 

There  seemed  to  be  a  general  feeling  of  pessimism  throughout  the 
State,  especially  among  the  business  men,  before  the  loan  started, 
many  saying  the  entire  amount  would  have  to  be  taken  by  the  banks. 
This  spirit  spured  the  women  to  more  determined  action,  and  never 
have  they  entered  a  campaign  with  so  much  energy  and  vim,  with 
the  result  conditions  were  soon  changed  and  the  loan  was  put  over 
beautifully,  county  chairmen,  with  few  exceptions,  reporting  it  the 
easiest  and  best  of  all. 

The  reports  show  a  closer  cooperation  between  the  men  and  women;  an  improved 
condition  in  the  general  attitude  of  the  public  toward  bond  bujdng,  not  a  single  case 
of  coercion  being  reported  and  only  one  or  two  places  experiencing  the  least  difficulty 
whatever,  most  places  going  over  in  the  first  week  and  many  the  first  day.  A  decided 
improvement  in  the  attitude  of  the  general  public,  and  men  especially,  toward  the 
value  of  woman's  work;  but  even  yet  I  do  not  believe  the  men  fully  acknowledge  its 
value.  It  is  hard  to  realize  what  it  has  meant  for  our  women  to  go  time  after  time 
into  the  homes  of  our  citizens  until  a  feeling  of  friendship  and  brotherhood  has  devel- 
oped that  will  be  of  inestimable  value  to  the  community  in  the  future  as  well  as  the 
educational  value  to  these  people,  many  of  them  having  learned  that  they  could 
really  be  bondholders  and  have  a  vital  interest  in  our  Government;  only  future 
generations  can  tell  the  great  value  of  the  woman's  work  during  this  war. — Extract

A  State  conference  of  the  women  of  West  Virginia  was  called 
March  18  and  19  at  the  Stephenson  Auditorium,  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  in  the 
city  of  Charleston.     When  the  women  convened,  37  of  the  49  counties  , 
were  then  organized,  the  old  chairmen  generally  reenlisting.     Gov.  ^ 
W.  A.  MacCorkle,  men's  State  chairmen,  was  one  of  the  distinguished 
speakers.     He  announced  that  he  had  reappointed  all  of  his  old 


91 

county  chairmen  and  at  that  time  but  four  had  reported  their  accept- 
ances and  that  a  joint  conference  was  then  impossible.  He  ur^ed  a 
joint  conference  of  men  and  women  and  set  the  date  for  April  4  and  5, 
which  invitation  was  accepted  by  Mrs.  Poffenbarger  for  the  Woman's 
Liberty  Loan  Committee.  The  State  county  chairmen  concurred, 
and  the  two  organizations  of  men  and  women  Liberty  loan  workers 
were  then  pledged  for  equal  service  in  putting  over  the  loans  in 
West  Virginia.  Miss  Mary  Synon  attended  this  meeting,  repre- 
senting the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee. 

GLEANINGS   FROM    THE    CAMPAIGN. 

As  a  means  of  honoring  the  women  workers  for  the  loans  in  West 
Virginia,  the  governor  of  the  State,  John  J.  Cornwell,  adjourned  both 
houses  of  the  legislature  on  March  19  to  have  Miss  Mary  Synon, 
treasurer  of  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee,  appear 
before  them  as  representative  of  the  women  who  have  labored  for 
the  success  of  the  Liberty  loans. 

In  recognition  of  her  services  for  the  Liberty  loans,  as  well  as  for 
her  interest  in  educational  work  in  her  State,  the  University  of  West 
Virginia  has  conferred  the  honorary  degree  of  doctor  of  laws  upon 
Mrs.  George  Poffenbarger,  chairman  of  the  woman's  loan  organiza- 
tion. The  university,  of  which  the  fiftieth  anniversary  came  during 
the  war,  celebrated  the  event  by  the  giving  of  the  honorary  degrees 
to  the  Secretary  of  War,  who  was  born  in  the  State,  to  the  governor 
and  five  ex-governors,  to  the  ambassador  to  Great  Britain,  also  a 
West  Virginian,  and  to  Mrs.  Poffenbarger. 

Mrs.  William  Chilton,  wife  of  the  former  Senator  from  West  Vir- 
ginia, took  a  secretarial  course  in  business  college,  graduating  with 
a  99.8  per  cent  record,  in  order  to  promote  her  efficiency  in  office 
work  to  help  in  the  Liberty  loans.

Mrs.  George  Bass  spoke  in  Wisconsin  during  the  campaign,  repre-

GLEANINGS^  FROM   THE    CAMPAIGN. 

The  woman's  committee  held  meetings  of  groups  of  foreign  women, 
calling  together  Polish,  Italian,  Greek,  Syrian,  Slovine,  Serbian, 
Croatian,  Czecho-Slovak,  Bohemian,  and  Norwegian  women.  The 
result  was  that  $60,450  in  Victory  bonds  was  sold  by  this  foreign 
group  in  Milwaukee,  the  Syrians  having  100  per  cent  record,  as  there 
was  a  bond  sold  in  every  Syrian  home  of  the  city.  A  platform  was 
erected  on  the  steps  of  the  Federal  building  in  Milwaukee,  with  a 
statue  of  Liberty  in  the  background  and  a  large  American  flag  in 


93 

the  foreground,  and  in  front  a  sign  which  said  '^Americans  from 

/'  and  then  each  day  the  name  of  a  different  nationality  was 

added. 

In  one  village  the  woman  chairman  used  a  curtain  in  the  window 
of  her  home  for  a  local  bulletin,  and  whenever  any  Victory  loan  news 
of  interest  was  received  it  was  attached  to  the  curtain,  which  was 
lowered,  and  it  thus  became  a  matter  of  public  interest  to  all  the  peo- 
ple in  the  village. 

The  little  play,  ''Lest  We  Forget,"  has  been  given  in  hundreds  of 
places  in  Wisconsin. 

At  a  Liberty  loan  meeting  in  a  Wisconsin  town  about  100  women 
had  gathered.  The  meeting  was  half  over  when  a  white-haired, 
rosy-cheeked  woman  came  in  breathlessly  and  said  she  would  like  to 
explain  her  tardiness.  ''I  have  two  sons  in  the  service  in  France, 
and  my  youngest  son  and  I  run  our  good-sized  farm.  To-day  I  had 
a  company  of  silo  fillers  and  I  had  to  cook  for  them.  I  cooked  their 
dinner,  put  it  on  the  table,  and  then  came  away  and  left  them.  I 
hitched  up  my  horse  and  I've  driven  10  miles  to  find  out  how  I  can 
sell  Liberty  bonds." 

The  organization  of  the  Women's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  in  Wisconsin  was  not 
an  easy  task  in  the  beginning,  as  there  were  naturally  many  difficulties  to  overcome 
in  a  State  where  the  foreign-born  population  is  so  large.  It  is  a  very  great  satisfac- 
tion, however,  to  have  seen  the  organization  grow  from  very  small  beginnings  to  its 
present  size  and  to  have  witnessed  and  taken  part  in  the  arousing  of  the  women  of 
Wisconsin  to  their  responsibilities  toward  their  country  and  to  know  that  now  there 
is  hardly  a  village  in  the  State  where  the  women  have  not  done  a  loyal  and  valuable 
service  in  this  Liberty  loan  work. 

The  cooperation  throughout  the  seventh  Federal  reserve  district  of  Wisconsin 
between  the  men's  and  women's  organizations  for  the  Victory  loan  has  been  very 
good  indeed.  With  very  few  exceptions  the  men's  and  women's  committees  have 
worked  as  one  organization  and  great  harmony  and  correspondingly  good  results  have 
obtained." — Extracts  from  State  report.

GLEANINGS    FROM    THE    CAMPAIGN. 

In  several  counties  of  this  territory  the  woman's  committee  not 
only  did  the  educational  work  which  was  supposed  to  be  their  share 
but  they  went  out  and  made  actual  sales  of  bonds  to  more  than  their 
allotted  25  per  cent. 

In  one  county  the  men's  committee  abandoned  the  field  and  the 
woman's  committee  finished  what  the  men  were  too  discouraged  to 
continue. 

A  very  active  educational  campaign  has  been  carried  on  all  over 
this  part  of  Wisconsin,  the  work  of  the  speakers'  bureau  being  most 
efficient.  The  bureau  in  Chippewa  County  reported  75  speakers — 
almost  more  than  there  were  numbers  in  the  audience. 

There  has  been  a  meeting  in  almost  every  schoolhouse,  and  the 
message  of  the  necessity  for  the  loan  has  been  carried  to  every  farm- 
house by  a  personal  canvass.

GLEANINGS  FEOM  THE  CAMPAIGN. 

One  woman  bond  buyer  made  the  money  by  raising  motherless 
lambs. 

Worthy  of  special  mention  is  the  work  of  a  young  woman,  under 
24  years  of  age,  who  had  charge  of  both  the  men's  and  women's 
committees  in  Carbon  County.  She  put  her  county  over  the  top 
with  a  large  oversubscription. 

A  bird  in  the  hand  was  worth  two  in  the  bush  to  the  chairman  of 
the  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  of  Mountain  View,  Wyo. 
At  a  gathering  for  an  oyster  supper  at  L3rmon,  Wyo.,  the  chairman 
recognized  an  opportunity  and  addressed  the  guests,  firing  the  first 
gun  of  the  Victory  loan  campaign  before  April  21. 

Another  instance  of  the  spirit  of  the  women  of  the  West  was 
related  by  the  woman  State  chairman.  At  the  beginning  of  the 
fourth  loan  an  old  lady  of  68,  a  member  of  the  Liberty  loan  com- 
mittee, was  knocked  down  and  run  over  by  an  automobile,  breaking 
a  leg  and  an  arm.  When  other  members  of  the  committee  went  to 
the  hospital  to  solicit  bonds  they  found  that  the  ambitious  patient 
had  already  sold  bonds  to  every  doctor,  every  nurse,  and  to  all 
visitors  who  approached  her  while  she  was  convalescent. 

The  chairman  of  Sweetwater  County,  Wyo.,  canvassed  the  county 
around  the  coal  mines,  where  she  talked  ^^pidgeon,"  and  was  under- 
stood by  men  and  women  of  42  nationalities.     She  and  the  chairman 


96 

for  Rock  Springs,  like  other  Wyoming  chairmen,  rode  miles  to  get 
subscriptions,  broke  down,  encountered  mud  and  sand,  but  the 
Sweetwater  workers  are  the  only  ones  who  report  the  distinction  of 
sleeping  in  the  poorhouse  in  their  campaign  for  funds.

The  quota  for  the  Victory  loan  was  about  20  per  cent  less  than  in 
the  fourth  loan.  In  spite  of  this  the  woman's  committee  raised 
$188,900  more  than  in  the  fourth  loan,  thus  increasing  their  per  cent. 

REPORT    ON    PRINTING    AND    DISTRIBUTION    FOR    THE    VICTORY 

LIBERTY  LOAN. 

There  was  a  marked  improvement  in  the  distribution  of  material 
by  the  National  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  for  the  Victory 
loan  campaign.  An  early  start  was  made  in  the  matter  of  printing, 
all  orders  for  stationery  being  placed  with  the  Government  Printing 
Office  during  the  month  of  January,  and  the  burden  on  the  Govern- 
ment Printing  Office  was  less,  due  to  the  decreased  pressure  of  many 
war-time  activities,  which  resulted  in  prompt  service  in  the  printing 
of  Victory  loan  material.  A  third  factor  which  contributed  largely 
to  the  prompt  receipt  of  supplies  by  chairmen  throughout  the  country 
was  the  relieving  of  the  congestion  in  transportation  which  had  existed 
during  the  preceding  campaigns. 

Shipments  were  made  as  follows:  The  Distribution  Bureau  of  the 
Treasury  sent  out  all  material  on  schedules  prepared  by  the  com- 
mittee. Letterheads,  envelopes,  post  cards,  and  labels  were  sent  to 
the  State  chairmen  according  to  the  quantity  requested  in  question- 
naires and  additional  orders.  The  literature  was  apportioned  among 
the  64  States  and  divisions  of  States  on  the  basis  ol  population,  size 
of  territory,  and  relative  degree  of  organization. 

The  orders  for  stationery  as  given  on  the  questionnaires  sent  out 
to  the  State  chairmen  in  January  were  filled  during  the  months  of 
January  and  February.  Paper  patterns  for  the  V  armbands  adopted 
by  the  national  committee  were  printed  on  large  sheets  and  sent  out 
with  instructions  to  the  State  chairmen  the  last  week  in  February. 

The  poster  designed  especially  for  the  Woman's  Liberty  Loan 
Committee  was  distributed  through  the  Federal  reserve  chairmen,  a 
suggested  schedule  being  prepared  for  each  district  by  the  distribution 
agent.     Pledge  slips  were  printed  and  sent  to  each  district  except  the 


97 


sixth  and  ninth,  where  the  individual  allotment  system  was  used. 
Only  one  form  of  report  card  was  printed  for  the  use  of  county,  city, 
and  State  chairmen,  thus  effecting  a  considerable  economy  in  distri- 
bution. 

Special  certificates  of  appointment  for  county  chairmen  were  printed 
for  each  of  the  Federal  reserve  districts,  and  carried  the  signature  of 
Carter  Glass,  Secretary  of  the  Treasury,  Mrs.  George  Bass,  secretary 
of  the  committee,  and  the  governors  of  the  various  districts. 

The  literature  issued  by  the  T^  ational  Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Com- 
mittee for  the  Victory  loan  consisted  of  a  series  of  eight  leaflets 
written  by  various  prominent  men  and  women  and  printed  in  uniform 
size  and  style.  These  were  printed  and  distributed  during  the 
months  of  March  and  April,  advance  copies  being  sent  to  the  State 
chairmen  for  use  at  their  State  conferences.  The  report  of  the  fourth 
loan  was  printed  in  Chicago,  under  the  direction  of  Mrs.  Kellogg 
Fairbank.  In  addition  to  its  own  material,  a  supply  of  handbooks 
for  speakers  was  assigned  by  the  publicity  bureau  to  the  woman's 
committee  for  dis'tribution. 

The  total  number  of  pieces  of  material  sent  out  by  the  National 
Woman's  Liberty  Loan  Committee  for  the  Victory  loan  amounted  to 
14,621,285.
